About The Organization

headig right

Askiy Karbon was founded with the vision of harmonizing traditional Indigenous wisdom with modern solutions to tackle the pressing issue of climate change.

The term “Askiy,” which means Earth in nêhiyawêwin (Cree), embodies our commitment to the planet and its well-being.

Our journey began with a profound understanding of the environmental challenges posed by climate change coupled with the need for economic reconciliation with Indigenous communities.

Askiy Karbon has marked several key milestones, including the establishment of our Carbon Trading Network, Projects and Investments, and the Indigenous Compliance Network. These initiatives underscore our dedication to creating a sustainable and prosperous future for all.
