A certified climate project combined with additional commitment

Climate project + nature conservationGet to know the project

This combined project contributes to the financing of a certified climate project while additionally supporting nature conservation in Germany. For every tonne of CO₂ saved through the certified climate project, a financial contribution is directed to the Mountain Forest Project in the Upper Allgäu. In this way, we enable a range of local activities such as tree planting, protective forest restoration, and habitat management.

The nature conservation project in Upper Allgäu is combined with a certified solar project in India (climatepartner.com/1429), which harnesses the power of the sun to generate renewable energy.

Combined climate projects to date:

“For nearly 30 years, the Mountain Forest Project has supported the Sonthofen Forest District in the Upper Allgäu region. Their work focuses on restoring and maintaining protective mountain forests — a crucial task to ensure that these forests can continue to fulfill their natural protective functions: preventing soil erosion, mitigating avalanches, and safeguarding water resources. Beyond their protective role, these mixed mountain forests also provide valuable habitats for rare species such as the capercaillie and black 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.
