ERT is a Washington, DC-based, non-profit organization that pioneers the use of market forces to protect and improve the global environment. Founded in 1996, ERT is harnessing the power of markets to address the challenges of tempering climate change, securing clean and reliable power, and encouraging environmentally beneficial land use.
ERT has developed three focused programs to accomplish its mission. ERT's
GHG RegistrySM
records validated greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions profiles with the aim of creating a market that will enable efficient emissions reductions. The
EcoPowerSM
Program catalyzes the market for clean energy by substantiating and marketing blocks of power that include new renewable sources of energy and have significantly reduced environmental impacts. ERT's
EcoLandsSM
Program facilitates deals that enable and encourage landowners to make environmentally beneficial land use decisions.
ERT's funding is derived both from philanthropic contributions and fee-for-service revenues. ERT is
not an advocacy organization, and has no political affiliation. ERT implements economic ideas that address today's environmental challenges, using the organization's non-profit status to take risks, produce results, and publicize successes.
