What We Do

To realize our vision of a “sustainable and equitable planet,” we have organized ourselves into two
interdependent and cyclical functions – our execution wing called CAPE and innovation wing
called ICAL.
Each function is led by teams with decades of experience working directly with vulnerable
communities. Our operations are guided by four core principles: sustainability, equity, collaboration,
and innovation.
CAPE – Climate Action Project Execution

Our primary functional unit CAPE focuses on designing and implementing on-ground decarbonization projects. Our existing projects aims to sequester xx million tonnes of CO2. We differentiate our work by fostering comprehensive socio-economic growth within participating communities, all while delivering high-integrity carbon credits that adhere to the highest standards.

We design our projects that adheres to the global carbon registries, including Gold Standard and Verra, ensuring alignment with High Quality Carbon Principles. This commitment guarantees that our efforts contribute not only to effective carbon reduction but also to the sustainable development of the communities we serve.

Our solutions follow a four-pronged approach

Revitalization of degraded lands through soil conservation

Tree plantation on these lands to offset global warming

Silk production using the trees planted to create long-term livelihood for local communities, with focus on women farmers

Impact tracking and measurement to guide decisions

Why Does CAPE Focus on Measurement and Tracking?
Our experience shows that inadequate monitoring often leads to decarbonization project failures.
At CAPE, we prioritize effective operations through four key objectives:

Comprehensive Measurement

We assess both carbon sequestration and community impact using technology-driven Measurement, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) methods, supported by a cloud-based MIS for efficient data storage and access.

Knowledge Repositories 

We assess both carbon sequestration and community impact using technology-driven Measurement, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) methods, supported by a cloud-based MIS for efficient data storage and access.

Communication Impact

We assess both carbon sequestration and community impact using technology-driven Measurement, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) methods, supported by a cloud-based MIS for efficient data storage and access.

Informed Decision-Making

We assess both carbon sequestration and community impact using technology-driven Measurement, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) methods, supported by a cloud-based MIS for efficient data storage and access.

How we do it?
We work in the tribal belt of Central India with local tribal communities on their degraded lands. As
part of our work, we convert thousands of hectares of unproductive private lands into forests that
can be used for rearing silk. We train and support the participating tribal communities to rear and
process Tasar silk, thus directly improving their socio-economic conditions.
A typical project will include 5 well-defined steps aimed at engaging local community, establishing
sustainable practices and enhancing livelihood through economic opportunities.
Innovations Lab (ICAL)
ICAL is our test, research and strategy wing that was founded to inject the spirit of innovation into everything we do. We are a diverse group of experimenters and thinkers that tests, learns, builds and iterates fast every day. At our core, we believe that innovation emerges through community interaction and the freedom to learn and experiment.
Our teams at ICAL focuses on 4 iterative actions –

Engage with the community and learn from the frontlines; Explore new models and new geographic frontiers

Test new ideas on-ground

Collaborate for cutting-edge research

Create knowledge repositories and share our knowledge with the climate-action community
