Community

Local priorities funded

Carbon revenue flows directly to communities who decide how it's spent

Benefit

The majority of revenue flows to communities

Net project revenues flow directly to the communities, above Plan Vivo's 60% minimum and up to 75% on our projects. Funds move transparently through local governance structures, so climate finance reaches those who drive the change.
