What is Klima?

Klima Protocol is open software infrastructure for climate finance, bringing capital to high-impact climate solutions around the world. These projects could not exist without buyers of carbon credits participating in the Verified Carbon Market. Examples include carbon removal projects (like reforestation or biochar) and carbon mitigation projects (Iike methane capture or forest conservation).

Today's carbon markets still suffer from slow transactions, fragmentation, and poor transparency. These barriers make it harder for environmental projects to access the funding they deserve. Klima Protocol exists to change this.

Our system will price and purchase carbon credits, sell carbon retirements, facilitate trades and incentivize deep liquidity. The result will be:

• Faster access to capital for carbon project developers

• Faster access to credits at transparent prices for buyers

• Increased transparency and confidence for all participants
