The climate won’t wait. But neither will we
With comprehensive climate accounting, we target all sources of global warming, including supercharged, short-lived climate pollutants to slow global warming, faster.
We can’t manage what we don’t measure
Over half of global warming is caused by super pollutants.* We use the most comprehensive, peer-reviewed climate accounting model available to measure all drivers of global warming and their impacts – not just CO₂ and other well-mixed greenhouse gases, but also climate super pollutants such as methane, nitrous oxide (N₂O), black carbon, and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and other non-emission factors such as albedo (Earth’s reflectivity) that directly affect heat.
With better data, businesses, governments and investors can make the most informed and impactful climate mitigation decisions. At scale, we can reduce global heat in years, not decades, and build a bridge to net zero by 2050.

What We Do
-
A breakthrough climate standard and registry
The Global Heat Reduction registry is the first of its kind to offer project owners full value for mitigating the most harmful pollutants and enable buyers to achieve net zero while making independently verified claims of near-term atmospheric heat reduction.
-
A more comprehensive climate footprint
We offer the most complete climate footprint accounting on the market, enabling businesses and other organizations to make better mitigation planning and investment decisions, whether that’s through direct emissions reduction and removal, insetting, offsetting, or product improvements.
-
Advisory and Partnerships
We’re committed to working across sectors to share knowledge, advance policy, promote effective technologies, and advise on the near-term heat impacts of public and private investments.
