Carbon Offset
As part of our Nature-based Solutions program, One Tree Planted offers carbon offsets from new and existing projects. These offsets extend far beyond sequestering carbon, providing multi-generational co-benefits for nature, people and biodiversity. Learn more
Our Nature-based Solution Projects are:
- Third-party certified carbon offsets
- Protecting habitats and local communities
- Supporting reforestation for years to come
- Fighting global warming and climate change through carbon emission reduction
- At One Tree Planted, we define success as delivering multi-generational co-benefits — not just maximizing carbon yield. Because of this, our Nature-based solution projects generate long-term impacts that reach far beyond carbon sequestration — including restoring biodiversity, uplifting communities, building sustainable livelihoods, and other key co-benefits. These projects also offer direct carbon financing so that we can continue to scale and strengthen our planting partner relationships.
- A personalized tree certificate (see gallery) indicating your purchase of offsets. The certificate verifies that your purchase will be registered with the Climate Action Reserve. One Tree Planted retires carbon credits through this process on a monthly basis, and we will send you the registration number via email within approximately 30 days of your purchase.
- Carbon offsets are voluntary buy-ins that allow you to trade your hard-earned dollars for the ability to reduce your carbon footprint. Thanks to our holistic Nature-based Solutions program, the carbon credits that we offer naturally generate benefits that extend far beyond sequestering carbon. This facet of the program specifically aims to make it simple for anyone to offset their emissions.

Four Drivers of Carbon Emissions
Why Offset Your Carbon?
Long-Term Forest Restoration
One Tree Planted targets Nature-based Solutions (NbS) projects (e.g. reforestation, agroforestry, mangrove restoration) with a minimum aggregated project size of 1 million trees (approx. 1,000 hectares). These large-scale projects ensure long-term restoration.
Reduce your Carbon Footprint
While there is no substitute for taking concrete steps to reduce your carbon emissions, purchasing offsets that are part of quality reforestation projects can help you reduce your carbon footprint and support nature and communities.
Improve Habitats & Livelihoods
Nature-based Solutions projects at One Tree Planted are responsible for planting millions of trees globally— as well as generating profound, multi-dimensional benefits for the climate, biodiversity, communities, and livelihoods.

Carbon offsets are informed by the concept that reducing greenhouse gas emissions in any area is worthwhile. They allow you to pay to reduce GHGs to make up for some or all of your own personal emissions. And because GHGs integrate easily into the atmosphere and spread quickly around the planet, paying to reduce carbon—even if it is on another continent— is a win for the planet.
One of our favorite ways to lower global carbon emissions is by—you guessed it—planting trees. In fact, one mature tree can store up to 45 pounds of carbon annually (Kohl et al, 2017). However, that takes time, with an average of 15 years before a tree sequesters a significant amount of carbon. So while reforestation is our thing, we also recognize the vital importance of forest conservation—or, saving forests from being deforested in the first place.
To this end, we also support the conservation of existing mature forests that includes verification of carbon sequestration and the measurement of other ecosystem benefits.
