Tergopedia is a free, online encyclopaedia that explains key terms related to carbon footprint, ecology, climate change, and global warming. It started on 1 August 2022 with two language versions launched simultaneously: English and Polish.

With the global climate crisis increasingly changing our everyday reality, TerGo Foundation decided to create a project focused on dispelling any doubts. Tergopedia is an eco-knowledge base provided to everyone free of charge with a mission of bringing critical environmental concepts closer to the public and raising awareness.

The TerGo Foundation experts and the team of dedicated copywriters provided the initial content with the most basic terms. The tool's structure mimics Wikipedia and other similar projects: the general form was initiated by TerGo Foundation, but its development relies heavily on the community's engagement. To start developing the tool, register and start writing.

In the initial phase, every article is checked before publishing by TerGo Foundation's internal experts' team. A team of scientists and experts oversees Tergopedia's content and verifies all texts submitted by Tergopedia users. This way, we ensure that Tergopedia provides only verified information and reliable data. However, the verification process will be passed to the Tergopedia's community in the future.

-The TERbit app connects users with a means of tracking and recording everyday choices to avoid carbon emissions. This lowers the carbon output of users and generates TER (True Emissions Reduction) carbon offsets. TERs provide potential compensation for users from companies or other users that wish to purchase their carbon credits to lower their respective carbon footprints.

-TerGo also creates and runs afforestation and regenerative agroforestry carbon offset programs, as well as provides sustainability reporting services, carbon-neutral product offset plans, accreditation, carbon labelling, and HR programs for companies looking to lower their carbon impact.
-In 2022, TerGo experts (dr Khaled Madkour and prof. Walter Leal) came up with a standard adjusted to the latest scientific and technical knowledge: the TerGo Verified Carbon Standard. The standard allows agroforestry projects to create carbon offsets, makes it more accessible for people now involved in carbon offsetting before, and follows the principles which will help heighten the quality of carbon offsets available worldwide.
