The Story Behind the Movement
At the heart of Impact Projects is a powerful story. It’s about recognizing that climate change isn’t just a scientific fact or a distant threat—it’s a call to action. The founder, Colby Self, has spent decades advising international organizations and governments, witnessing firsthand the frustrating delays caused by bureaucracy and legacy systems. Instead of waiting for 2050 or 2100, Impact Projects was created to deliver change now. It’s a rallying cry for individuals to step up, because every small moment counts in the biggest battles we face.

Impact Projects isn’t your typical environmental group. It’s a hybrid of consulting and technology, bringing together domain experts in carbon markets with a tech-savvy team that’s worked with some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley. This blend allows the project to develop innovative green financial solutions and leverage eCommerce platforms to maximize impact. The team’s global footprint—from California to Chile, Brussels to Madrid—reflects a commitment to collaboration and innovation on every continent.
