This collection of case studies highlights the lived experiences of Indigenous groups leading carbon credit projects around the world.

Pollination Foundation has gathered these case studies to address growing demand for best practice examples. They focus on community-led governance, equitable business models, and access and benefit-sharing (ABS) arrangements.

As the Nature–based-Solution (NbS) sector matures it is essential that the voices of those most directly engaged in the work – Indigenous communities – are front and centre. As a collective, these case studies offer valuable insights into how community designed carbon credit project models can deliver both fair and sustainable outcomes for local communities and the environment.
