South Pole currently seeks for nature-based projects that could benefit from finance and expertise to generate verified emission reductions.
Since 2008, South Pole has worked with hundreds of land-owners, community groups, investors, conservation organizations, and others to identify and facilitate emission reduction projects worldwide. As a truly global environmental company, with over 350 experts in 18 global offices.
South Pole is uniquely positioned to support you in adding a sustainable and supplementary source of income to fund your nature-based projects.
- Opportunity for Conservation and Restoration projects: South Pole believes Nature-based Solutions (NBS) need to be a central part of the post-COVID green recovery.

To be considered projects must meet either of the following minimum requirements:
- Ecosystem protection projects – minimum 10,000 ha of standing forest or larger than 5,000 hectares of carbon rich ecosystems, such as peat land or mangroves.
- Restoration projects – must have the potential to restore at least 1,200 hectares.
- Opportunity for large-scale nature-based solutions: South Pole believes Nature-based Solutions (NBS) need to be a central part of the post-COVID green recovery. They are able to develop and potentially provide finance to large nature-based climate action projects that protect wildlife, empower communities and create sustainable economies. To be considered projects must meet either of the following minimum requirements:
- Ecosystem protection projects – minimum 50,000 hectares of standing forest or larger than 7,500 hectares of carbon rich ecosystems, such as peat land or mangrove forest.
