NCC will double our impact over the next decade to address the dual crises of climate change and habitat loss. This includes protecting natural spaces and developing innovative models to finance conservation. In 2022, TD renewed its support for NCC for an additional three years. The support for Climate Smart Solutions for a Resilient Future will help accelerate NCC’s conservation efforts by harnessing the nature-based solutions associated with conservation through the development of a pan-Canadian restoration strategy and investible carbon offset projects. Learn more about TD's support of the Restoration Framework.

As more corporations adopt net-zero targets, the demand for nature-based carbon offsets to meet these commitments is increasing, given the enormous co-benefits that come along with these types of projects. Co-benefits of a carbon project are the conservation benefits gleaned from the land that aren't directly carbon storage and sequestration, such as habitat connectivity, biodiversity, community access, and cleaner water. NCC's carbon projects provide incentive for a wider pool of private capital to flow into NCC's portfolio of conservation projects.

TD's support has been fundamental in NCC's work to identify and pursue innovative carbon projects, including one on Boreal Wildlands, Canada's largest private conservation project to date. Through this program, NCC has been able to develop long-term, sustainable funding for conservation across Canada.

Through the Bank's corporate citizenship platform, the TD Ready Commitment, TD brings together its philanthropy, people, and business to contribute to a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future. One example of the Bank's philanthropic support is provided through the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, which has been supporting NCC for over 30 years.
