Entrepreneurship in the territories: is it the right time?
ABOUT LIVELIHOODS
Livelihoods is a global initiative that connects companies, local organizations and communities to turn climate ambition into tangible action. We are grounded in a core belief: there is no environmental impact without social justice.
Since 2009, we’ve mobilized private investment and field expertise to co-design and deliver long term projects that restore natural ecosystems, improve livelihoods, and strengthen resilience. With a team of 50 specialists and over 15 years of experience, we operate across two impact platforms: within value chains, we help companies transition to regenerative sourcing through the Livelihoods Fund for Family Farming and custom programs; beyond value chains, our three Livelihoods Carbon Funds drive nature-based solutions that restore degraded land, expand agroforestry, and improve energy access — generating high-quality carbon credits certified by international standards such as Gold Standard or Verra.
Our approach is non-speculative, and outcome driven. Backed by 20 committed companies and led by Livelihoods Venture — a social business owned by our foundation — we’ve launched 47 large-scale projects, delivering 4.8 million tons of CO₂ reductions and removals, planting 159 million trees, and improving life for 2.4 million people in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America.
