High-quality carbon credits can play a role in mitigation and the transition to net zero while providing income that efficiently reaches the bottom of the pyramid,” said Cool Effect Co-Founder and Director, Dee Lawrence. “I have confidence in the effectiveness of the projects we work with and their ability to verifiably reduce carbon emissions. I’ve seen how transformative payments for these kinds of ecosystem services can be. I continue to be inspired by individuals on the ground who are working to save forests, improve biodiversity, reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving life and providing new opportunities for their communities.”
