We generate value for Tanzania’s economy and its people by producing nature-based carbon credits that enable local people to earn revenues from the protection of their landscapes. These verified emissions reductions allow global businesses with credible decarbonisation and nature-positive strategies to invest in a locally produced nature-based solution that serves the climate, communities and wildlife.
Indigenous people and local communities are the most effective stewards of nature. When they have reliable, secure rights over their natural resources and receive appropriate compensation for their efforts to protect and manage them, tangible impacts for climate and biodiversity can be achieved.
Forest conservation is one of the most cost-effective ways to mitigate climate change, and conserving forests brings about positive and measurable economic, social and environmental benefits to local communities.
Carbon credits prevent trees from being cut down, protect wildlife and benefit people.
By valuing nature in a way that fits with our global financial systems, we are able to better recognise who should be compensated for the costs they bear in protecting it.
Carbon Tanzania is an experienced, trustworthy and reliable project developer, recognised as a global leader in forest conservation. We have pioneered the development of forest conservation projects based on equitable partnerships with local communities and characterised by innovative and transparent revenue sharing agreements. We design and implement projects that not only recognise the role of indigenous people in conservation, but integrally depend on their involvement
Carbon Tanzania’s approach aligns with the goals of the Paris Agreement, and is future proofed to meet jurisdictional carbon accounting standards, and to support national climate targets.
The science-based methodologies for determining the carbon stored in forests and therefore number of credits issued are complex and constantly evolving. Carbon accounting for our projects is provided by experts in forestry carbon stock assessment and monitoring, and we continually review and enhance our approach as new technology and methodologies are available.
High-quality supply needs to go hand-in-hand with high-integrity demand for the market to thrive. Corporate buyers must have credible net-zero strategies and prioritise cutting emissions in their own value chains before they compensate for their emissions by purchasing carbon credits, following the mitigation hierarchy of avoid, reduce and compensate.
Carbon Tanzania’s carbon credits are of the highest quality and in great demand by the market. Our forest-based carbon credits are regularly verified using the latest methodologies, internationally certified and have to demonstrate that they also result in measurable social and biodiversity benefits.

High-quality supply needs to go hand-in-hand with high-integrity demand for the market to thrive. Corporate buyers must have credible net-zero strategies and prioritise cutting emissions in their own value chains before they counterbalance emissions with carbon credits, following the mitigation hierarchy of avoid, reduce and compensate.
Forest conservation is one of the most cost-effective ways to mitigate climate change and conserving forests brings about positive and measurable economic, social and environmental benefits to local communities.
Our annual impact reports are robust. Supported by data gathered in the field, the reports monitor and measure the impacts of our projects in the context of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Carbon Tanzania is committed to understanding and measuring the true socio-economic benefits of our projects to the communities with whom we work. By conducting social value research studies on all our projects, that listen deeply to the lived experiences of our local community partners, we are able to understand the social value generated by our projects.
Carbon Tanzania is a business making the protection of forests and biodiversity valuable to Tanzania and its people.
