This combined project contributes to the financing of a certified climate project and additionally supports tree planting in Germany. For every tonne of CO₂ saved through the contribution via a certified climate project, we plant one tree in Germany. This way, we promote the conversion of structurally poor forests and monocultures into more resilient mixed woodlands that can better adapt to changing climate conditions. It is important to note that tree plantings are not official and certified climate projects that are used to offset emissions. Rather, the tree plantings are supported as an additional project to take climate action locally in addition to investing in a certified climate project.

Currently, tree planting is combined with a certified wind power project in Turkey (climatepartner.com/1525). The wind farm of this project was one of the first in the Central Anatolian Region of Turkey in 2012. In the province of Kayseri, a total of 36 wind turbines feed about 194,003 MWh of renewable energy to the national grid per year. Without the project, the same amount of energy would be generated by gas or coal-fired thermal power plants. Combined climate projects to date: wind energy, Sidrap, Indonesia (climatepartner.com/1149) and wind energy, Tanger-Tétouan, Morocco (climatepartner.com/1073).
