First benefit sharing
Kukumuty – a major milestone for the Kukumuty project: with the release of its first annual report, 8,660 carbon credits were issued—and quickly sold out—allowing us to share 60% of the benefits directly with participating communities for the first time.
We’re thrilled to announce a significant milestone for the Kukumuty project: with its first annual report, 8,660 carbon credits were issued and sold out almost immediately! This remarkable achievement marks the first time this project has been able to share 60% of the benefits directly with our participating communities.
Following discussions with community councils, a crucial decision was made: to invest these funds in urgent food support. Last year’s extreme weather severely impacted crop yields, leading to a significant food shortage in all four communities during the hunger season (April and May 2025).
Overall, 1679 families (each including ~4.4 family members) benefited from 48 560 kg rice and 3488 litre cooking oil. This direct benefit-sharing is providing much-needed relief and demonstrating the tangible positive impact of the Kukumuty project.
