Climate Action Can’t Wait: IPCC Releases Sixth Report

The sixth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group 1 Report highlights the dire need for global climate action at an unprecedented scale to dramatically reduce GHG emissions over the coming decades to avoid irreversible, catastrophic climate impacts. Winrock is proud to be a part of the solution through our work in carbon capture, clean energy, ecosystem services, forestry, resilient agriculture, and through the support of well-designed markets to accelerate deployment of capital to low carbon solutions through the operation of the American Carbon Registry (ACR) and the Architecture for REDD+ Transactions (ART).

ART

Forest conservation and restoration represents a gigaton-scale mitigation opportunity that could transform the fight to slow climate change. To attract large-scale finance for reducing global deforestation, a credible system is needed to reward countries for reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). ART aims to unlock new long-term financial flows for forest countries to […]

ACR

Winrock has long recognized the threat posed by climate change. ACR, founded in 1996 and operated by Winrock, is dedicated to the belief that markets are the most effective tools to tackle climate change. As such, ACR has developed transparent and science-based methodologies to incentivize carbon reductions in agriculture, transportation and other industries. ACR is also a partner in assuring that California’s landmark Cap-and-Trade Program can manage, verify and credit carbon offsets effectively.
