Nusanterra is a homegrown startup that seeks to integrate Malaysian Nature-based Climate Solutions (NCS) into the global response to the climate crisis. Nusanterra’s purpose in the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) is to bring together the necessary partners and processes to deliver certified high-quality carbon credit projects for carbon-conscious investors seeking bankable solutions. The Nusanterra team combines diverse backgrounds from industry, consultancy, climate policy and conservation to support private sector companies reach their Net-Zero targets through decarbonisation and natural climate solutions.
NCS involving the protection and restoration of natural ecosystems such as forests, wetlands and mangroves, have the potential to provide 1/3 of the emission reduction targets by 2030. NCS are both cost-effective and provide significant additional benefits by supporting biodiversity and generating income for rural communities. The VCM has gained significant attention in recent years as individuals, corporations, and governments seek to offset their carbon emissions. The market is expected to grow to $10-40 billion in value by 2030, transacting 0.5-1.5 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, compared with 500 million tonnes currently.
To answer this growing demand, Nusanterra is expanding its operations and continuously building a roster of Nature-based Climate Solutions experts.
