-
Increased ROI
by driving climate outcomes now without losing long-term goal of CO₂ reduction
-
Realistic timeframes
that align with corporate planning and address business risks caused by global warming
-
Credit for progress
you’re already making but not measuring (e.g. reduced black carbon reduction from renewables)
What We Offer
-
Total Climate Footprint™
Everything you get from your carbon footprint, plus data to drive more strategic investments and greater impact.
-
CO₂e+ Credits and Project Investments
All the value from typical carbon credits, plus verified atmospheric heat reduction impacts measured over any timeframe (e.g. 5, 15, 25 years).
-
Advisory and Advocacy
Heat targeted mitigation planning and project design for businesses, governments, and NGOs. Work with us to reduce climate super pollutants.
Why It Matters
-
More than half of global warming is caused by climate super pollutants, like methane, black carbon, and HFCs.
-
Super pollutants are far more potent than carbon dioxide in driving the near-term atmospheric heat that’s wreaking havoc worldwide.
-
Yet carbon markets, based on a 100-year accounting model, undervalue and overlook these potent heat-trapping pollutants which have a shorter atmospheric life than CO₂.

Fast track your climate impact by measuring and managing what matters most with Total Climate Accounting™.
