About

Nature-based solutions for climate, communities, and conservation.

Who We Are

East African Carbon Company (EACC) is the operational and technical partner to Uganda’s Ministry of Water and Environment (MWE) in delivering nature-based carbon projects under a public–private model. Our work blends international carbon market standards with Uganda’s national safeguards to create high-integrity carbon credits that deliver both climate impact and community co-benefits.

Why Carbon Markets Matter in Uganda

Safeguarding our wetlands and forests means protecting life itself

Advancing Uganda’s NDC targets through measurable emission reductions, ecosystem restoration, and climate-resilient livelihoods.

Carbon finance turns restoration into opportunity.

By monetising ecosystem protection, carbon markets fund large-scale restoration, strengthen community resilience, and create new income streams.

Local action, global impact.

Every project supports Uganda’s Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement while contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

A Premium Climate Asset: EACC + Government of Uganda Credits

Our credits originate from Uganda’s most critical conservation areas—national parks, forest reserves, wildlife reserves, wetlands, and community wildlife management areas.

Governed by the highest international standards and Uganda’s robust safeguards, they ensure biodiversity protection, community rights, and sustainable land use.
