We’re excited to announce the latest episode of Untangling Climate Finance, featuring Sheri Hickok, CEO of Climate Impact Partners.
In this episode, Sheri and Jay discuss the power of carbon markets to drive meaningful climate action. Sheri shares her journey from her engineering roots in Detroit to leading a global company dedicated to addressing climate change. She explains how Climate Impact Partners collaborates with corporations and governments on projects worldwide, all with the ambitious goal of cutting one billion tons of carbon.
Sheri also offers insights into the voluntary carbon market, where companies are turning to high-quality carbon credits to achieve net-zero goals. One example is Climate Impact Partners’ recent collaboration with Form Ghana, a reforestation project that is sequestering carbon and providing job opportunities for local communities, including many roles for women.
Tune in to this episode to hear more about how carbon credit projects and innovative partnerships are working to scale up global climate impact!

The Savory Foundation along with the Savory Institute, Pampa Oriental, and Cultivo are now offering nature-based carbon removal credits from their Uruguay Grasslands Regeneration Project. This groundbreaking project spans 140,000 hectares across 166 privately held properties, employing Savory’s Holistic Management framework to restore grasslands while supporting local communities and ecosystems.
The project, under Verra’s VM0032 Methodology for Sustainable Grasslands, anticipates an annual issuance of around 152,000 credits, beginning in 2026, and addresses the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals – 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, 13: Climate Action, 15: Life of Land, and 17: Partnership for the Goals.
