ClimateGains is ​Climate Finance

for the people.

ClimateGains uses profits ​from sales of carbon credits ​to finance initiatives powered ​by collective intelligence and ​distributed collaboration.

Rapid Response

We provide immediate financial and nonfinancial resources to community-driven crisis response and recovery. We distribute small amounts just in time, rather than "large, but late".

Smart Swarms

We finance collectives of individuals, communities and organisations who wish to work on self-selected climate-related challenges together.
