Carbon Investment
We engage in collaborative partnerships with businesses, investors, and governments like you to assist you in meeting emission reduction or removal targets, investment goals, and NDCs through nature-based solutions.
Current Carbon Investment Projects
A forest carbon project designed to generate high-quality nature-based carbon credits by restoring critical habitats, preventing biodiversity loss, and contributing to community development.
Tanzania Eastern Arc Mountains
A project, located in a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot, established to sequester carbon and reduce emissions through community-based restoration and degradation prevention.
A project located in a mosaic of woodlands and grasslands with opportunities for watershed conservation and re-establishment of wildlife corridor connectivity.
How You Can Achieve Your Carbon Goals with Eden?
Together, we can act now to move towards the global vision of long-term community and environmental resilience while achieving your carbon financing goals. Whether you are a corporation or an investor we will collaborate with you to identify high-value nature-based solutions aligned with your business objectives.
We have three projects currently in development and a robust pipeline with more opportunities. We are seeking catalytic capital to fund the completion of project development, submission for validation, and launching the implementation for each project.

What We Do
Eden has specialized in designing and implementing large-scale natural climate solutions since 2005. Through our collaboration with communities across nine countries, together, we have planted over 1 billion trees. In recent years, we have expanded our portfolio through our subsidiary, Compassionate Carbon, to include Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) carbon projects. As a vertically integrated developer, we oversee every project aspect in-house, from origination to development to implementation. By embracing a community-focused approach to landscape restoration, our objective is to go beyond carbon to develop and implement projects that generate substantive benefits to local communities, regional biodiversity, and the global climate.
Eden develops AFOLU project interventions with the outcome of generating high-quality carbon credits for corporates and investors to apply towards voluntary carbon offsets or for governments looking to achieve their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. We also offer opportunities for investors to partner with our projects early and have an impact in expanding the benefits we can offer to communities and their ecosystems.
Voluntary Carbon Offsets
Quantification of carbon impacts by providing verified carbon credits that may be used or traded globally to meet internal commitments, business goals, global emission reduction targets, or obligations for industry-specific compliance.
National Determined Contributions (NDCs)
Facilitation of nature-based solutions to support sovereign states in fulfilling their emission reduction commitments to reinforce the implementation of NDCs and meet governments’ global emissions targets.
What is Our Process?
Integrated with a science-based approach rooted in community engagement, our process encompasses six distinct steps, each with clear outcomes:
- Scoping (3 months): The initial phase assesses whether the area of interest is viable for a carbon project. This involves evaluating factors such as project size, location, potential benefits, applicable standards and methodologies, and potential risks.
- Feasibility Study (3-6 Months): At this stage, we define the fundamentals of the project including baseline scenarios, site cover analysis, stakeholder engagement, project budget, risk assessment, and projected carbon issuance.
- Project Design Phase (6-9 Months): This phase involves developing the Theory of Change, a logic framework, and the Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) process, as well as implementation plans. We also complete the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) process and file for project validation.
- Validation (1+ years): A third-party auditor, known as a Validation/Verification Body (VVB), approved by the Standard, conducts a thorough assessment of the project.
- Implementation (up to 40 years): We execute the full project plan, which may include activities such as planting trees, removing invasive species, restoring ecosystems, and monitoring progress over time.
- Verification events (5-6 years): Approximately 18 months to 6 years after project validation, verification events take place, allowing for the issuance of carbon credits.
How Do We Ensure High-Quality Carbon Credits?
With nearly two decades of experience in reforestation and restoration implementation, we develop carbon projects using rigorous methodologies under the Verified Carbon Standard by Verra with the addition of rigorous standards and principles, including The Climate, Community, and Biodiversity Standards (CCB) and the ICVCM’s Core Carbon Principles (CCP). Our approach to achieving high-quality carbon credits includes:
- Ensure the highest probability of carbon additionality
- Addressing climate change
- Supporting community development and conserving biodiversity concurrently
- Preventing double counting
- Securing carbon permanence
- Engaging in robust third-party validation and verification
- Quantifying emissions reductions and removals accurately
- Upholding sustainable development impact and safeguards
- Providing comprehensive mitigation activity information
By prioritizing these components, our projects not only deliver top-tier carbon solutions, but also generate significant co-benefits for climate, communities, and biodiversity.
