A certified climate project combined with additional commitment

Climate project + tree planting (WCC)Get to know the project

This combined project contributes to the financing of a certified climate project and additionally supports tree planting in the United Kingdom. For every tonne of CO2 saved through the contribution via a certified climate project, another tonne of CO2 is reduced through woodland creation in the UK. These woodland creation projects are accredited by the Woodland Carbon Code (WCC) and support afforestation and the conversion of structurally poor forests and monocultures into more resilient mixed woodlands.

Currently, the woodland creation project in the UK is combined with a certified solar energy project in India (climatepartner.com/1429). This project uses solar power to produce renewable energy. It involves the installation of solar PV modules in the three Indian states Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra.

Combined climate project to date: afforestation, Guanaré, Uruguay (climatepartner.com/1148).

Our additional commitment: CO2 sequestration through woodland creation

With our combined project, we combine verified emission reductions through a certified climate project with additional commitment. European ecosystems are also affected by climate change and forests play an important role: They are not only among the planet's most important carbon sinks but also are home to an enormous diversity of species and are the livelihood for all people. That is why we support afforestation and the conversion of forests into more resilient mixed woodlands that can better adapt to changing climate conditions.

We carry out tree plantings in cooperation with organisations that draw on years of in-depth expertise. In the UK, we collaborate with the Woodland Carbon Code (WCC), the national quality assurance standard for woodland creation. Their goal is to establish long-term carbon sinks that serve as a home for wildlife. 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).

All climate projects are based on international standards. They set processes and requirements which carbon projects must fulfill to be recognised as a proven method of reducing carbon emissions.

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.
