About CarbonFora
Democratising the carbon economy for 8.5 billion people.
The climate market for most of the world looks empty. It is not empty. It is unbuilt. We are building the layer that lets people, SMEs, brands and banks in.
Why we are building this
For seventeen years our founder worked in marketing and growth across Pakistan and the UAE, most of it helping other founders raise capital. He watched where climate money flows, and where it does not.
Today climate value is owned by the polluters, and the people acting on the ground get nothing. CarbonFora is being built to change that.
Not out of charity. Because the market that fixes it is worth ten times more than the market that caused it.
99%
of the $100B carbon economy reaches the corporations that caused the emissions.
<1%
reaches the 8.5 billion people who did not.
