Black Panthers is a social venture that will situate itself between financial institutions and smallholder farmers in Mekong Delta, Vietnam, to provide access to funding, transparency, and trusted SDG impact measurements for carbon credits. Smallholder farmers in the region often lack the economic incentive and technical knowledge to adopt climate-resilient best practices in their farming. Individual farms that uphold climate-resilient practices are bundled together to create large-scale bankable projects which are presented to investors and high-integrity organizations looking to support climate adaptation efforts. 

The Team emerged as the top Team from the Climate Action track.
