Cool Effect

Cool Effect Planet-Sized Change Starts Here. Earth is our home, our planet. It belongs to each and every one of us, and we share a desire to protect it.

Cool Effect gives each of us a chance to take a step toward that goal by supporting projects around the world that reduce carbon pollution. Starting with you and me, we can create a massive, cumulative effect toward cooling the earth. Together, our small actions will ignite planet-sized change. What makes us different? Cool Effect is a community of individuals dedicated to saving the planet. Join

us and support projects that VERIFIABLY reduce carbon in our atmosphere. Our projects are scientifically proven to reduce carbon, are 100% additional, and provide full transparency in pricing and product detail. You will see clearly how your funding will be used and how it will impact the project and the planet. What does it take to become a Cool Effect project? There are over 10,000 projects around the world working to reduce global warming. To find the top projects, we are working with scientists who have had years of experience in the field evaluating and verifying projects according to United Nations requirements. They conduct an initial review to verify the substantive public documentation each project must submit to meet its certification standard (Gold Standard Foundation, Verified Carbon Standard, Climate Action Reserve, etc.). Then they conduct additional due diligence to verify that the issued credits could not have been produced without income from the sale of carbon and ensure full pricing, financial transparency, and sound management. We make site visits whenever possible or hire others to visit the projects for us. Our goal is to gather and then provide as much background as possible to consumers to communicate both the opportunities and the challenges for each project. Media Inquiries:

For over two decades, Proyecto Mirador has been cooking up a world of good by helping provide not just cleaner burning cookstoves, but employment opportunities to communities in rural Honduras and Guatemala.
🔥
They're a shining example of what a high quality carbon project can be — working to not only make an impact for the planet, but to make an impact for its people as well.

We’re excited to announce our newest partnership with Mitti Labs, a Bengaluru and NYC-based climate technology company focused on reducing from rice cultivation!
🌾 🌎 ❤️
Between 2024 and 2025, 64% of all credits purchased through Cool Effect addressed , including ozone-depleting substances (ODS) and landfill methane.
🌾 🌎 ❤️
With the addition of rice methane thanks to this amazing partnership, we can expand our superpollutant portfolio to now include this third, rapidly scalable category.
🌾 🌎 ❤️
Superpollutant mitigation one of the most powerful near-term climate strategies around, but in addition to emissions reductions here, this project is also going to do a world of good for the communities where it’s based, increasing income for smallholder farmers and protecting an estimated 25 billion liters of water in these already water-stressed regions of India.

The ocean absorbs around 90% of the excess heat caused by global warming—with most of it stored in the Southern Ocean. Thanks to that increase in ocean temperatures, global average sea level has risen eight to nine inches since 1880, and the rate is accelerating due to glacier and ice sheet melt.

How much of an impact does methane make? In just this year, emissions from human activities will likely cause more warming over the next two decades than all the carbon dioxide emissions from all passenger vehicles on the road and all coal-fired power plants — combined.

Proyecto Mirador, a Cool Effect project and one of Latin America’s largest clean cooking initiatives, has installed 400,000 clean cookstoves across Central America, delivering cleaner, safer cooking solutions to more than 1.6 million people. Those numbers are impressive, but they don’t tell the whole story — what started as a simple clean cookstove project has gone on to make a tremendous impact on the planet and its people with the help of .

Through Cool Effect’s Giving Trees initiative, implemented through the TIST (The International Small Group and Tree Planting) program, smallholder farmers in East Africa voluntarily join and plant trees on their own land.

Ozone-depleting substances (ODS) like the gases released from refrigeration equipment or fire extinguishers are often overlooked climate change accelerators, particularly in the short term. Chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants (CFCs) alone are up to 10,900 times more potent than CO2! That's why projects like "Gas Buster" are so important — preventing these super pollutants now not only makes a near-instantaneous impact on emissions, it also buys us precious time for broader CO2 strategies to take effect.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. Coincidentally, that’s also the best time to support incredible tree planting projects like one currently on our platform, “The Giving Trees.” Based in Kenya and Uganda, this project helps small communities plant trees to create a nature-based carbon removal system that helps train leaders and pull families out of poverty.
