Founder’s Message

Welcome to the website of the Global Carbon Reward (GCR) Initiative. This initiative originated in the idea that a carbon reward (XCR) can be used to fund and mobilise climate actions across the globe. As it turns out, a carbon reward can play many different roles, including as an economic stimulus, as a medium for paying ecosystem services, and as a long-term investment. The reward market—which will be based on the carbon reward instrument—will differ markedly from existing carbon markets because it will not involve any carbon offsetting. Our mission is to tell a new story about how we can resolve the climate crisis with a Global Carbon Reward. The GCR Initiative is looking for official partners and sponsors so that we can demonstrate the approach.
