Carbon Offsets To Alleviate Poverty (COTAP) specializes in connecting
your carbon footprint with accredited forestry projects in
least-developed countries which create life-changing income for
smallholder farmers who live on less than $2 per day.
Carbon offsets are an established market-based tool through which you can address your personal CO2 emissions from driving, flying, and home energy use, also known as your carbon footprint. By purchasing carbon offsets, you are supporting projects which counteract the CO2 emissions which you haven’t yet been able to eliminate.
If you prefer, you may completely customize your transaction via “Offsetting Options” in our menu above. There, you can offset as little as 1 tonne of CO2 or as many tonnes as you like, as well as have complete control over how much of your transaction is distributed to each of our 4 projects.

Life-changing income for the world’s poorest people
COTAP pools contributions from individuals and organizations and supports projects which compensate farmers for planting and maintaining trees on under-utilized portions of their land. Plantings and tree growth are monitored and verified by third parties, and farmer payments are front-loaded and performance-based, paid over a period of 7 to 10 years for plantings which will sequester CO2 over 25 or more years.Affordability and unparalleled flexibility
