Accelerating Carbon Solutions with Innovation and Collaboration: GreenTrade joins Climate Collective
We are excited to welcome GreenTrade into the Climate Collective.
Achieving the Paris Agreement’s targets requires bold and unified action, yet financing remains a major hurdle. With an additional $3.5 billion in investments needed worldwide, we’re at a pivotal moment to mobilize resources and bring vital impact projects to life for a sustainable future.
Founded in March 2022 by Frederick Leuschner, GreenTrade is creating the infrastructure to enable forward financing of nature and tech-based carbon projects. By providing tailored impact projects and energy solutions that fit their operations and supply chains, GreenTrade helps companies decarbonize and achieve their net-zero climate goals. In partnership with Neufin.co, GreenTrade recently launched a blueprint project in India supporting European corporates in transitioning to renewables and reducing their energy emissions.
“Soil is the world’s second-largest carbon sink and plays a pivotal role in addressing the climate crisis with countless co-benefits for nature and society,” says Frederick Leuschner, CEO and Founder of GreenTrade. “But progress is too slow. The private sector must act collaboratively and at scale — starting today.”
What sets Greentrade apart:
🤝Tech and nature-based projects: GreenTrade combines reduction and removal projects essential for a net-zero future. With various project types in their portfolio, from carbon capture to blue carbon, their initiatives prioritize social and environmental impact, aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
🌱Collaboration over competition: GreenTrade is a Founding Partner of the “International Soil Carbon Industry Alliance” (ISCIA.org), an NGO dedicated to catalyzing positive change in agriculture by promoting the vital role of soil carbon. GreenTrade believes in industry unity to address the climate crisis. As such ISCIA is being established to provide a platform for experts, stakeholders and industry professionals to collaborate and share knowledge on soil carbon and agricultural decarbonisation projects.
🌍Uncompromising Quality and Accountability: GreenTrade is vetting every project for transparency, additionality, permanence, co benefits, and financial viability. Using the ICVCM’s Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) and the Oxford Offsetting Principles as frameworks, only top-quality projects pass verification to become part of their portfolio.
GreenTrade’s mission is to reduce 100M tonnes of carbon by 2030 through innovation, collaboration, and unwavering commitment to quality. We are excited to support their journey and witness the transformative impact they’ll bring to fight climate change.
