Cross-cutting priorities — GESI, safeguards & FPIC, data/MRV, provincial partnership and youth — run through every pillar.

Climate Change & Carbon Credit

PNG’s forest carbon is valuable — and past voluntary market harms show why communities need honest, community-side technical support.

  • Landowner Carbon Readiness Service (free advisory, BSA review, FPIC)
  • Carbon project development support (REDD+, IFM, A/R, blue carbon, cookstoves, renewables)
  • Regulatory navigation with CCDA and Article 6 pathways
  • MRV and digital infrastructure
  • Benefit sharing and annual public Carbon Integrity Review

Integrity: No commission or equity on advised projects. We decline work without genuine FPIC.

Working with and alongside the Global Green Growth Institute

GGGI works upstream with government. GreenTech positions itself downstream — as implementing partner, pipeline feeder, workforce supplier and local knowledge partner. No existing GGGI–GreenTech partnership is asserted; cooperation is an intended pathway.
