About Patch

A livable future depends on climate solutions — and those solutions need funding to scale. There is a financial mechanism powerful enough to help drive climate solutions to gigatonne-scale and beyond: carbon credits.

• Build end-to-end experiences for buyers and sellers of carbon credits on the Patch platform, making it as easy as possible for players of all sizes to participate in the climate economy.
