Carbon Offsets To Alleviate Poverty (COTAP) is a nonprofit organization that empowers individuals and organizations in developed countries to combat climate change and global poverty through certified forestry projects in least-developed regions. By facilitating carbon offset donations, COTAP creates transparent and accountable income for rural farming communities living on less than $2 per day. The organization focuses on small-scale afforestation, reforestation, and agro-forestry programs, which have proven to provide significant economic benefits while mitigating climate change. COTAP's unique model connects the sale of carbon credits to the livelihoods of the world's most vulnerable populations, ensuring that funds are directed towards impactful projects that restore landscapes and improve community welfare.
