Natural Climate Solutions protect, manage, and restore ecosystems for the benefit of nature, people, and communities. Research shows that natural climate solutions can contribute approximately 35% of the mitigation needed by 2030 to limit warming to less than 2° Celsius.

We advance nature-positive initiatives in water, agriculture, carbon, and forests in two primary ways:

Support projects from concept to implementation to long-term operations with a focus on outcomes-based approaches to funding, financing, and stacking value for recurring revenue.
Braid together financing and funding that rarely talks—federal dollars, corporate buyers, conservation finance, tax credits—and build investable, high-impact projects that deliver multiple benefits.

Services

Build a blended project capital stack to move from concept to implementation

Finance natural climate solutions and unlock access to ecosystem markets (e.g., biodiversity, carbon, nature-positive, water)

Develop outcomes-based models to sustain long-term operating needs

Client Testimonials

“A huge strength of the Soil and Water Outcomes Fund model is that farmers are compensated more for practice changes because of the program’s ability to achieve water and climate benefits. That is a really exciting part of the program and a reason why PepsiCo continues to expand its work with SWOF.”

— MARGARET HENRY, VICE PRESIDENT, SUSTAINABLE AND REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE, PEPSICO

“The Exemplary Forestry Investment Fund is genuinely unique in the conservation field...we believe the Exemplary Forestry Investment Fund has immense potential to demonstrate to a global audience how productive, climate smart forestry can be accomplished at scale.”

— Robert Perschel, former Executive Director of New England Forestry Foundation

“The market-based model that Quantified Ventures developed with us has the potential to change the landscape when it comes to water sharing strategies that keep water on the land as well as in rivers. We can’t wait to deploy it.”

— KATE RYAN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR of COLORADO WEST LAND TRUST
