How It Works

When you buy a Meta Carbon certificate, you are helping to fight both tropical deforestation and climate change.

You are helping to save some of the world’s most spectacular forest landscapes.

And you are helping to protect the communities and wildlife that call them home.

Find out how below.

1. Why Forests Matter

Tropical forests are among Earth’s most powerful climate allies. They store massive volumes of carbon, protect biodiversity, support local communities, and help stabilise global weather systems. But they’re under threat, deforestation driven by crop conversion, cattle pasture, mining and resource extraction persists in many regions. If forest ecosystems lose value standing, the incentive remains for them to be cleared.

2. Trust & Transparency: Our Starting Point

At Meta Carbon we believe real climate action begins with confidence in the process. That’s why every project on our platform is selected and monitored with the highest standards of integrity, so you know for sure that your contribution makes a measurable difference. We built Meta Carbon over six years with the mission of helping individuals and businesses engage in credible carbon solutions they can trust, not just promises.

3. Projects that Deliver Performance

We partner with forest-conservation initiatives that:

Are verified by recognised frameworks (e.g., the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS))
Demonstrate actual prevention of deforestation (not simply assumed)
Issue unique, traceable carbon credits/offsets that are retired exclusively for you. In other words, when you invest via our platform, you’re paying for performance, not possibility.

4. You Take Action, We Connect the Dots

Your role is simple, choose a carbon-offset option that matches your footprint (whether for lifestyle, travel or business). Then:

We allocate your funds to a qualified forest-protection project

The project validates and verifies its outcomes (trees kept standing, carbon retained, ecosystems intact)

A corresponding carbon credit is generated, recorded in a global registry, and then retired in your name. You get full visibility into the chain of action, from your purchase to the forest on the ground.

5. More Than Just Carbon

Carbon storage is critical, but forests deliver so much more: clean water, habitat for endangered species, jobs and livelihoods for local communities, climate resilience for us all. We prioritise projects with a Gold-level certification in Climate, Community & Biodiversity (CCB) standards, meaning you’re supporting verified benefits that extend far beyond emissions alone.
