Meta and Sylvera Launch Brazil Open Carbon Data Project

Sylvera, Meta, and the Rockefeller Foundation launched the Open Carbon Data Project on July 30, 2026 ^[1]. The initiative provides high-resolution, open-access forest carbon data for the Brazilian Atlantic Forest ^[1][2]. This project aims to underpin credible carbon market verification and unlock new climate financing for restoration ^[1].

The partnership uses artificial intelligence and remote sensing to create scientifically rigorous datasets ^[1][2]. By making this data public, the organizations intend to improve transparency and trust in global environmental markets ^[2]. Supporters claim that better data will help direct investments toward effective reforestation projects in Brazil ^[1].
