This educational resource on carbon credits was developed through the First 30×30 Canada Program, an initiative led by Nature For Justice in partnership with IISAAK OLAM Foundation and Nature Focus Development, in collaboration with the RAD Network.

The graphic outlines the process of how carbon credits are produced and sold through Indigenous-led land stewardship initiatives. From defining a carbon project and validation audits to credit issuance, sales, and reinvestment, the process demonstrates how verified climate benefits can generate long-term revenue streams that support stewardship, governance, economic sovereignty, and Nation-building.
