WORK HISTORY
Chief Climate Officer @Wildlife Works LATAM
Burlington, VT, US
Wildlife Works develops and manages REDD+ projects that partner with Indigenous Peoples and local communities to drive finance to the Global South. These projects generate verified carbon credits, which fund conservation and livelihoods directly on the ground.As an applied climate scientist with a background in geospatial science, I focus on connecting novel forest monitoring techniques with practical climate solutions. My work helps ensure that carbon finance truly supports both ecosystem integrity and the people who depend on, and protect, these vital landscapes.

ABOUT JEREMY FREUND
Climate scientist focused on market-funded projects that reduce emissions via direct financing of indigenous and forest communities. The multilateral climate finance model has proven to be ineffective in the climate battle, as the money rarely reaches the people who earned it. Wildlife Works\' projects are successful because we not only fund Global South governments to support their climate goals, bur most importantly, the planet\'s essential workers: the communities who have been asked to protect their own forests.
