Pachama

I'm very excited for the unveiling of the shared vision of the #VCM+ Coalition, of which Pachama is a proud member. This is a global initiative to build the next-generation verified carbon market, unifying and accelerating action across the carbon market ecosystem. The vision is anchored in five pillars: ✅ High-Integrity Science ✅ Robust Oversight ✅ Trusted Communications ✅ Targeted Finance ✅ Scaled Demand It aims to deliver 5 billion cumulative tons of CO₂e reduced or removed between 2026 and 2035 and mobilize an additional $100 billion in climate finance, across voluntary and compliance systems while restoring trust, improving outcomes for communities and nature, and building a high-integrity, equitable, and scalable market. This is the result of years of gatherings of the best minds in the market, whom with the best intentions for all came together to tackle the biggest challenges and establish the strongest foundation from where to build for the decades ahead.

With today's GPT-5 launch, we’re getting a glimpse of the next wave of AI — agentic, offline, multimodal, and deeply contextual. What could this mean for AI for Nature? - “Virtual land scouts” identify regions prime for investment based on factors like soil, slope, wildfire risk, growth potential and community input - Scenario models: Simulate trade-offs between sustainable land use interventions under different climate and economic futures. - Intervention design: You set your goals, AI designs implementation plans that balance ecology, finance, and equity, all based on region-specific datasets and community knowledge. - Progress trackers: Assemble years of satellite imagery, documents, eDNA and more to objectively summarize changes in a landscape over the years What else could you dream up?

Today, across South America, families and friends gather to honor Pachamama (Mother Earth) by offering her food, drink, and gratitude. Many kneel on the soil, and place offerings of corn, coca leaves, and chica, all to give thanks for the immense bounty she provides. Let us use today to reflect on this ancient bond between people and planet. As we look ahead, may we channel all our ingenuity to heal and restore nature — the most profound life-giving force we will ever know. Happy Pachamama Day. 📸 Joseycha Ramos, Sarhua, Ayacucho Peru

📊 Building a dynamic baseline just got a whole lot easier. For the first time, Pachama is making our baseline technology available to project developers.

The tool has processed over 4,500 boundaries and is now open for anyone to use. Give it a try at the link in comments below.

A room full of climate leaders. Dozens of use cases for AI and Nature. And one big reveal (link in comments below!). The #AIforNatureForum did not disappoint. When the right people come together, alignment happens naturally. There was a shared conviction to act, an appetite for progress over perfection, and a desire for transparency above all else. Thank you to our incredible speakers Tom Chi, Kate Brandt, Sunya Norman, Devon Lake, Joe Speicher, Nick Ellis, Alexia Kelly, Diego Saez Gil, Josh Katz, Matt Haddon, Rayne Sullivan, Will Hewes, Jodi Manning, Julia (Osterman) Strong, and Luke Pritchard. And thank you to the inspiring innovators at the heart of the next generation of nature-based solutions: CNaught, Chloris Geospatial, CTrees, Isometric, ACRE Investment Management, LLC, Waterplan, Chestnut Carbon, and, most importantly, our fellow hosts Salesforce. Here's to a future in which our economy and ecologies both prosper.
