Plan Vivo is an internationally recognized carbon standard and certification body focused on supporting community-led, nature-based climate solutions. Established as a Scottish charity, the Plan Vivo Foundation develops and oversees the Plan Vivo Carbon Standard (PV Climate), which is designed to empower smallholders and communities at the forefront of the climate crisis.
The Plan Vivo Foundation supports community-led projects by providing a rigorous certification framework, technical and financial support, access to carbon markets, and a strong focus on capacity building and co-benefits. This approach enables rural communities to lead sustainable land management efforts, access climate finance, and achieve long-term resilience and development goals.
Plan Vivo stands out as a carbon standard and certification system for several compelling reasons, especially for organizations, communities, and buyers seeking high-integrity, community-driven, and nature-based climate solutions.
Plan Vivo is chosen for its unique, community-centered approach, strong social and environmental co-benefits, fair benefit sharing, robust project integrity, and its commitment to making climate finance accessible to those who need it most. It is a trusted standard for organizations and buyers seeking to support high-impact, ethical, and sustainable carbon projects.
