is a nonprofit research organization working on improving the
transparency and scientific integrity of climate solutions with open
data and tools. Our team analyzes the design and implementation of
climate programs across the public and private sectors. Our work focuses
primarily on carbon offsets, carbon removal, and climate risks. In all
three areas, we create public resources on climate solutions based on
the best available science and data. We want to make sure that the world
pursues more of the solutions that work and less of the ones that do
not.
