Impact Investing Carbon Monetization Model

A Strategy for Scale & Impact
Reassembling the puzzle rather than reinventing the wheel:
Deploying efficient cook stoves in the developing world to reduce deforestation, increase economic prosperity and improve health is not new or innovative.
Mobilizing donors, non-profit organizations and local stakeholders to create social impact in the 3rd world is not new or innovative.
Generating competitive investor returns through the creation, verification and sale of carbon offsets is not new or innovative.
Combining these three proven models to generate triple bottom line returns for investors and developing world communities is both new and innovative

Paradigm Impact Investing Advantage
Combination of competitive social and financial returns draws investment capital that would otherwise be directed elsewhere.

Donors are purchasing project equity on behalf of participating communities, multiplying their gift many times over.
Projects deliver immediate triple bottom line benefits while generating revenue to scale and sustain impact.
