THE CARBON RESERVE IS A SWISS NON-PROFIT FOUNDATION COMMITTED TO EXPANDING CARBON MARKETS AND EMPOWERING EVERYONE TO PARTICIPATE IN COMBATTING CLIMATE CHANGE.
our Goals
Democratise participation
Make it simple and cost effective for individuals and businesses anywhere to participate in the fight against climate change.
Reduce carbon risks
By pooling risk in a centralised reserve and using a risk-based framework to assess mitigation value, integrity risks are lowered for system participants.
Reduce market friction
Heterogenous carbon mitigation assets are converted to fungible, tradable units of mitigation, reducing friction and lowering costs.
Expand demand
To increase demand for decarbonisation, the Carbon Reserve seeks new applications for toco. Visit tocos.org to learn more how carbon can be used as a currency.
Build trust
Ensure the Carbon Reserve's operations remain independent, transparent and verifiable to the public in compliance with regulations and consumer protections.
Governing principles
To ensure the success of the toco initiative, the integrity of the Carbon Reserve cannot be compromised by external interests, influences, or profit motives. The Carbon Reserve owns its assets. These assets do not belong to any one person and can only be managed for the benefit of the toco economy.
Transparency is key to independent and responsible governance. Because we use blockchain technology to record all asset and currency transactions, it is possible for any third party to verify and audit both the assets held in the Carbon Reserve and the total tocos in circulation.
We believe in the ongoing stability of national currencies; in safe, secure, and stable banking systems and in strong consumer protections. The Carbon Reserve will continually work with policymakers as the financial network expands and as regulations change.
