Future Forests Rooted in Nature. Driven by Impact.
Programming for Our Forest Carbon Projects
Our investment projects are formulated to:
- Generate high-quality carbon credits.
- Empower local communities through training, fair employment, and active participation.
- Restore ecosystems and biodiversity in alignment with the highest standards of environmental and social integrity.
We engage stakeholders throughout planning and implementation, ensuring our projects exceed rigorous benchmarks for impact.
our commitment to best practices
We design projects to ensure permanence in forest restoration.
- We apply methodologies that maximize climate benefits through both greenhouse gas removal and emissions avoidance.
- All investment plans undergo third-party validation and are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and VERRA to meet the highest standards.
Contributions towards UN Sustainable Development Goals
SDG #1 - End Poverty in All Its Forms Everywhere
SDG #15 - Protect, Restore, and Promote Sustainable Use of Terrestrial Ecosystems
SDG #8 - Promote Sustained, Inclusive, and Sustainable Economic Growth
Members of disadvantaged communities in our project areas receive training, fair compensation, and sustainable employment in afforestation and forest restoration.
SDG #8 - Promote Sustained, Inclusive, and Sustainable Economic Growth
SDG #15 - Protect, Restore, and Promote Sustainable Use of Terrestrial Ecosystems
SDG #8 - Promote Sustained, Inclusive, and Sustainable Economic Growth
We create productive employment and decent work opportunities for all community members engaged in our programs.
SDG #13 - Take Urgent Action to Combat Climate Change and Its Impacts
SDG #15 - Protect, Restore, and Promote Sustainable Use of Terrestrial Ecosystems
SDG #15 - Protect, Restore, and Promote Sustainable Use of Terrestrial Ecosystems
Future Forests combats climate change by building local capacity for sustainable forest management and mobilizing private sector financing for large-scale afforestation and restoration, resulting in significant carbon sequestration.
SDG #15 - Protect, Restore, and Promote Sustainable Use of Terrestrial Ecosystems
SDG #15 - Protect, Restore, and Promote Sustainable Use of Terrestrial Ecosystems
SDG #15 - Protect, Restore, and Promote Sustainable Use of Terrestrial Ecosystems
We finance sustainable forest management and the conservation and restoration of biodiverse ecosystems.
verified carbon units & methodologies
Future Forests LLC delivers high-integrity climate and biodiversity outcomes by generating Verified Carbon Units (VCUs) under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), rigorously aligned with the Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) established by the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM). Our projects integrates Verra’s Sustainable Development Verified Impact Standard (SD VISTA) and Climate, Community & Biodiversity (CCB) Standards, ensuring that carbon benefits are not only real and permanent, but also socially inclusive and ecologically restorative.
By applying methodologies such as VM0044 (IFM), VM0045 (REDD+), and VM0047 (ARR), Future Forests LLC advances nature-based solutions that meet the highest benchmarks for environmental integrity, community empowerment, and market credibility. Projects are validated and verified by accredited third parties, with transparent documentation and stakeholder engagement protocols—including FPIC, grievance redress, and SDG-aligned co-benefits—ensuring trust across the value chain.
why biochar?
By using biochar, a biological method of engineered carbon removal, with a form similar to charcoal made from the conversion of biomass in an oxygen-limited environment, we conduct what is known as pyrolysis.
This method transforms carbon into its elemental form which degrades in soil over centuries, making it an ideal technology for scalable and permanent carbon removal. Beyond carbon, with its high porosity, considerable surface area, and large capacity to retain water, nutrients and contaminants— biochar can be used to avoid, reduce, and reverse degradation of agricultural, rangeland, and forest soils.
The rapidly increasing interest in biochar has been born out of the search for measurable, high-quality carbon removal techniques. Future Forests is driven by the potential for the implementation of biochar technology to restore degraded land, improve forest and soil health, enhance ecosystem services, and revitalize rural economies.
