Climate project + nature conservationGet to know the project

Dieses Kombiprojekt trägt zur Finanzierung eines zertifizierten Klimaschutzprojekts bei und unterstützt zusätzlich den Naturschutz in Deutschland. Pro Tonne CO₂, die durch den Beitrag über ein zertifiziertes Klimaschutzprojekt eingespart wird, fließt ein Förderbetrag an das Bergwaldprojekt in Freiburg. Auf diese Weise ermöglichen wir dort verschiedene Aktivitäten wie die Wald- und Biotoppflege und den Schutz junger Bäume.

Derzeit wird das Naturschutzprojekt in Freiburg mit einem zertifizierten Solarprojekt in Indien kombiniert (climatepartner.com/1429). Dieses Klimaschutzprojekt nutzt die Kraft der Sonne, um erneuerbare Energie zu produzieren.

Bisher kombinierte Klimaschutzprojekte: Waldschutz, Pará, Brasilien (climatepartner.com/1056) und Waldschutz, Mataven, Kolumbien (climatepartner.com/1402 und climatepartner.com/1288).

Since 2001, the Mountain Forest Project has been active in the Schauinsland forest district of the Municipal Forestry Office of Freiburg. Forest management efforts focus on promoting deciduous trees and silver firs within the mixed mountain forest. An important and recurring measure is protecting young silver firs from browsing by chamois and roe deer through the installation of individual protective guards. Targeted habitat management interventions in the forest also improve living conditions for grouse species such as the capercaillie and hazel grouse.

Our additional commitment: a financial contribution for every tonne of carbon reduced

With our combined project, we combine verified emission reductions through a certified climate project with an additional commitment to regional nature conservation. European ecosystems are also affected by climate change. Our regional nature conservation initiatives are therefore committed to preserving or restoring natural habitats and adapting them to climatic changes.

Possible project activities include the protection and conversion of native forests, the conservation of animal and plant biodiversity, peatland restoration, or the conversion of agricultural land. The certified climate project is registered with international standards.

The project aims to contribute to these United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Project facts

Climate projects generally fall into one of three groups: carbon reduction, carbon removal, or carbon avoidance. Carbon reduction projects reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by a specific activity (e.g., improved cookstoves). Carbon removal projects remove carbon from the atmosphere by sequestering it in carbon sinks (e.g., reforestation). Carbon avoidance projects avoid greenhouse gas emissions entering the atmosphere (e.g., protecting forests from deforestation with REDD+ projects).

Climate projects demonstrably reduce, remove, or avoid greenhouse gas emissions. This is achieved with various technologies, ranging from nature-based solutions to social impact projects and renewable energies.

What’s a combined project?

With combined projects, ClimatePartner brings together funding for international, certified climate projects with additional support for nature conservation projects.
