Climate Action Portfolio - Your path to climate confidence

Our approach is science-based, anchored in what the planet needs.

In order to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, businesses must take action to both reduce their own emissions and contribute to positive climate impact externally.

Carbon removal and reduction credits are an important part of any comprehensive climate plan. However, finding high quality projects is difficult, even for the most advanced companies.

This is where TIME CO2 comes in.

Our team of experts does the hard work to research, assess and curate world class high quality projects into portfolios - so you don't have to spend the hundreds of hours it requires.

These are aligned to the latest science on what the planet needs, and include projects inside and outside of the carbon markets.

Here's how we do it.

We start by aligning to the best available climate science.

The scale and complexity of the climate challenge means there's no single solution capable of mitigating greenhouse gases alone. Synthesizing the action levers in Drawdown, Exponential Roadmap, and the IPCC AR6, we group projects into four solution types needed to achieve our planetary climate goals:

We balance funding across solutions for today and the innovation needed for tomorrow.

We evaluate project types based on their mitigation potential, investment readiness, and added benefits, while also identifying current needs for supporting future technologies.

Adapted from The Oxford Principles for Net Zero Aligned Carbon Offsetting (2020), one of the trusted resources we align our portfolio design with today and into the future.

Next, we build our diversified portfolio framework of solutions and projects.

The portfolio is a powerful concept that reduces risk. We diversify across project type, location and timing. Our portfolio not only solves for the complex needs of the climate system, but also the realities of risks at the project level.

Here's the blend of diversified project types in the Planet Portfolio:
