Limiting the temperature increase due to global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2050, in accordance with the 2015 Paris climate agreement, necessitates halving global emissions by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions. Failure to do so risks surpassing critical tipping points. Current Swedish forestry practices contribute to environmental destruction by harming biodiversity and limiting the forest's carbon sink capacity, but forest owners, fearing loss of income, are reluctant to change their methods of operation. Still, Swedish forestry has the potential to play a crucial role in carbon sequestration by significantly increasing carbon uptake. Capture Forestry is a Swedish climate compensation company that monetizes carbon dioxide emissions through a climate compensation scheme targeted at businesses. It offers a carbon credit program and serves as a middleman between Swedish forest owners and other businesses, providing a way for Swedish forest owners to sell carbon dioxide sequestration capacity instead of trees. Capture Forestry's business model presents a win-win solution for forest owners, forestry companies, and the environment.
