Benjamin Chimutengo

Executive Chairman & Technical Advisor

Benjamin Chimutengo serves as Executive Chairman and Technical Advisor at Terre Verde Carbon Consulting, providing strategic oversight and deep technical guidance across the firm's carbon consulting and ESG advisory practice.

A recognised authority on African carbon markets, Benjamin brings extensive experience in carbon project development, net zero strategy, and ESG reporting frameworks. He has advised organisations across Zimbabwe, Southern Africa, and internationally on their climate transition journeys.

"Zimbabwe sits at a unique intersection of climate vulnerability and carbon opportunity," says Benjamin. "We have extraordinary natural assets — forests, wetlands, savanna — that the world needs. The question is how we unlock their value in a way that benefits Zimbabwean communities and drives genuine climate action."
