India's Largest
Environmental
Organisation
Earth5R is the largest environmental organisation in India, and it accelerates climate action by executing it. Programme design, market access, ground operations, community delivery, measurement and verification. All run end to end by one organisation, backed by standing in the UN system and policy bodies across Europe, the US and India.
Earth5R works where emissions, population and the verification gap are largest. Field-verified operations across 5,526 locations in India, an institutional network spanning UN bodies, policy agencies and research institutions across Europe, the US and India, and the data infrastructure to prove what was actually done.

Work Alongside.
Climate action moves at the speed of the institutions behind it. Earth5R takes part in the UN system and works alongside policy and research bodies across Europe, the US and India. That participation travels in both directions. It informs the programmes we run on the ground in India, and it opens routes for Indian companies into developed markets.
