Some media reported that ANT FOREST is a money-making project with a trillion-dollar carbon-neutral market hidden behind it. From 65438 to 0997, the United Nations adopted the Kyoto Protocol, which set a certain carbon emission target for each country, and this target can be traded. If the indicators are not enough, you can buy others'. Of course, on the other hand, you can also produce carbon emission indicators and sell them to others through energy conservation and emission reduction.

In this regard, the person in charge of ANT FOREST issued a statement saying that ANT FOREST is a purely public welfare project and will not bring any financial benefits to Ant Group. Every year, Ant Group spends hundreds of millions of dollars on projects in ANT FOREST, which is purely a charitable donation. Ant Group and non-profit organizations agreed that if these trees generate carbon sinks in the future, they will all be used for public welfare undertakings. ANT FOREST has not participated in carbon sink trading so far. ?

Apart from ANT FOREST, which organizations are purely public welfare? Let's take a look together.

First of all, what is pure public welfare. Pure public welfare organizations are not for profit, and often need financial subsidies. Another kind of quasi-public welfare undertakings generally balance their financial revenues and expenditures, while semi-public welfare institutions are those with profit-making nature. Although typical hospitals have public welfare, they are mostly profitable from their own business purposes, and the sources of funds are mostly self-supporting and self-supporting, with little financial intervention.

Pure public welfare organizations include China Environmental Protection Foundation, which was established in 1993. It is the first foundation specialized in environmental protection in China, with independent legal personality and is a non-profit organization. The purpose is: take it from the people, use it for the people, protect the environment and benefit mankind. Qingdao Memory Manager is a purely spontaneous non-governmental public welfare organization. This is a non-profit organization that provides spiritual care for the elderly, listens to their stories and helps record their time stories. The United States Capitol Hill Group is a community public welfare organization, which mainly undertakes to provide free services such as catering, bathing and online employment information search for the homeless.
