Carbon Offsets
Individuals or companies seeking to voluntarily offset their emissions or achieve carbon neutrality via reputable projects that also deliver positive community impacts can do this via purchasing carbon credits.
Carbon credits are certified greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions (ERs). They demonstrate, under the most strict standards and with third-party verification, that a project has facilitated the avoidance of greenhouse gases, and therefore helped limit climate change. Here at Nexus for Development, we work only with highly socially and environmentally impactful projects from energy and water sectors. Our field partners work hard to address the most urgent community needs, and we organize the carbon certification of their activities.
Our projects are designed and implemented by NGOs and social enterprises in Asia, always in consultation with the communities. By buying the carbon credits that certify their environmental impacts, you support their sustainability, enable strong impacts on the ground, and support the scale-up of their most efficient initiatives.
Our partners benefit greatly from this kind of Result-Based Financing that recognizes the results of their work and strengthens their sustainability journey. See also below the projects specific features that the carbon credits transactions allow for.

Sustainable energy, water, and sanitation enterprises in Southeast Asia face multiple barriers to accessing finance to scale up their impact.
Through research, webinars, and case studies, we hope to provide insights and resources to better inform actors supporting social entrepreneurship in these sectors.
