Demystifying the capital raising process for Nature-based Carbon Projects in Emerging Markets

Carbon markets are a mechanism through which climate finance can reach the world’s poorest and most climate-vulnerable communities

There has arguably never been more capital available nor greater collective focus on climate finance, yet projects in emerging markets continue to face significant barriers to investment. The Carbon Finance Playbook aims to help address this disconnect by demystifying the investment process for carbon projects. It focuses on nature-based projects and emissionsreducing products such as cookstoves and solar irrigation pumps that sell carbon credits in the voluntary carbon market (VCM). The Playbook builds on learnings from the USAID PLANETA program, a first-of-its-kind investment facilitation platform for carbon projects in Mozambique, implemented by CrossBoundary.
