About CMS

CMS is a global not-for-profit organisation dedicated to advancing practical, science-based carbon management as a cornerstone of the world’s response to the climate crisis.

We bring together researchers, policymakers, industry leaders and innovators from across the globe to collaborate on real solutions that reduce, remove, or avoid greenhouse gas emissions through sound science, responsible policy and effective technology deployment.

Built on four pillars: Education, Advocacy, Engagement and Impact, CMS exists to build and mobilise a global community committed to emissions elimination. Our mission is to ensure that carbon management strategies are not just discussed but implemented and scaled for measurable impact.

The Society operates with integrity, independence and inclusivity, guided by our Founding Principles. We champion open dialogue, science-based decision-making and collaboration across sectors and regions to accelerate the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future.

Board of Directors

The CMS Board brings together accomplished professionals from across continents, spanning science, policy, law, business and technology.

Each Director contributes unique expertise and shared commitment to our founding mission: to lead with purpose, shape meaningful climate action and uphold the highest standards of governance and transparency.
