Terraformation
Seed to Carbon Forest Accelerator
FromTerraformation
Terraformation has launched the world`s first biodiversity-focused, carbon-funded forest accelerator. To support our mission of confronting climate change by restoring the world`s forests, we`re bringing together forest creators, funders, and experts from around the world to create thriving forests and communities that preserve biodiversity while increasing the global forest carbon supply.

To restore the planet`s forests, meet climate goals, and satisfy growing demand for high-quality carbon credits, the world will need thousands of new forest creators across the globe to plant and nurture new forests.
Our Accelerator will both foster the growth of new forest creation teams and increase the capacity of existing teams so that they can scale up faster and create more fundable projects — all while creating lasting forests and more resilient communities.
Projects with capacity to generate registered carbon credits have much-improved access to funding, so enabling teams and removing the barriers to reaching full-scale carbon projects are core goals of the Accelerator. But our approach isn`t solely focused on carbon — creating biodiverse forests and supporting local communities are embedded in our company DNA and drive our decisions about team and project selection.

Our Accelerator is open to forest creation and restoration teams of all types and from all locations
Though there are some key characteristics that will make you a stronger candidate. ??
Given our primary funding mechanism is "growing" future forest carbon stocks, teams that are well positioned to create large-scale, successful projects capable of generating registerable carbon credits are best suited for the Accelerator.
