Terra Global Capital

?? Happy International Women’s Day. ?? ?? As a woman-founded, women-run company with over 18 years of experience, Terra Global Capital empowers women in the critical role they play in climate action and carbon markets, specifically working to bring the much-needed climate finance to Nature-based Solutions (#NbS). From project development to climate finance, women are leading efforts to scale high-integrity solutions that drive measurable environmental and social impact. At Terra Global, we are committed to delivering equitable climate finance to create gender-focused co-benefits along with high-integrity Verified Emission Reductions and Removals (VERRs). Supporting women in climate is not just an opportunity—it’s a necessity for achieving a Just Transition to net-zero. #IWD2025 #WomenInClimate #WomenInNbS #JustTransitionToNetZero #PassionAndPersistence?

With 2025 set to be a pivotal year for scaling investments in Nature-based Solutions, it is critical that the private capital needed to achieve a Just Transition is committed and deployed at scale. Next week (March 4th), I will be attending Environmental Finance’s Natural Capital Investment EMEA conference in London where I seek to engage with investors and policy makers on the importance of the NbS sector and how Terra Global invests to produce high-quality, multiple-benefit VERRs that support fair returns for investors and project owners. If you are in London next week, please let me know so we can connect.?

Experiencing a first-hand increase in engagement across the carbon markets, with increased inquiries from buyers for NbS carbon credits and investors seeking to deploy capital. Across venues, there were exciting announcements from the nature sector. During the ICE-hosted event, held in partnership with Gitterman Wealth Management, LLC, Accenture, and FINTECH.TV, industry leaders from the investment, business, and climate communities shared their latest knowledge and insights on where climate meets capital markets. The Carbonomics Unplugged panel on “Nature-based solutions: Emission reduction and carbon removal from the biosphere”, featured the prominent voices of corporates, scientists and practitioners with Rahul Barua, Director of Climate Finance Innovation at Salesforce, Ed Mitchard, Co-Founder and Chief Scientist, Space Intelligence, Leslie Durschinger, Terra Global Capital's Founder and CEO, and Christopher Zinc, Vice President, Carbon Finance, Conservation International, with moderation from Steve Zwick from Bionic Planet.

Durschinger shared Terra Global’s experiences in deploying private sector climate finance to NbS removal projects that are integrated within reductions programs as well as those that are standalone projects.
