Who we work with
At NatureCo, we collaborate with NGOs and local organisations to co-design and deliver nature-based carbon projects, driving initial project concepts to investment-ready proposals and on-ground implementation.
We foster long-term relationships with our clients and investors, advising on impactful, socially and environmentally responsible nature-based carbon projects, and designing bespoke programs matched to investment criteria.
We deliver capacity building to our local partners and communities as we seek to build foundations in carbon skills wherever we go, enabling project ownership by local people, and greater long-term outcomes for nature, climate and livelihoods.
