"Our work helps to prevent greenwashing and ensure that investments in carbon removal really benefit the climate. I feel like I’m working with the ‘good guys’ – I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t!"

Science Advisor

“At a personal level, I am Colombian. I am the daughter of a farmer and I am the mother of a toddler. These three things remind me everyday how important our mission at Carbon Direct is."
