At Carbon Paradox, we believe that carbon credits are a fundamental instrument to finance climate action, particularly in countries of the Global South. In fact, it is so far the only such instrument that ever reached a significant scale.
However, if we don’t openly and honestly confront, discuss and try to solve the inherent paradoxes, the debate about carbon credits will continue to go in circles.
Carbon Paradox was initiated by:

Terra Dialogue is an NPO dedicated to driving pragmatic environmental communication, preventing climate and environmental protection from becoming polarized and stalling.
This is the team behind Terra Dialogue and Carbon Paradox:
- Renat Heuberger, Marco Hirsbrunner, Dr. Christoph Grobbel and Christian Dannecker, climate entrepreneurs and co-founders of Terra Impact Ventures.
- Steve Zwick, environmental journalist and owner of Bionic Planet.
