A certified climate project combined with additional commitment


International + United Kingdom, countrywide

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 UK. 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. The woodland creation is accredited by the Woodland Carbon Code (WCC) and supports afforestation and the conversion of forests into more resilient mixed woodlands.

Currently, the project in the UK is combined with a certified afforestation project in Uruguay (climatepartner.com/1184). The project covers about 22,000 hectares of land and aims to convert degraded grassland into forest.

Combined climate projects to date:

“Forest Carbon has always believed in building a proper, functioning market to channel funding into nature; we’ve always widely and freely shared our opinions, knowledge, and advice with anyone working alongside us. Our mission, in this sense, has always been to support the delivery of nature restoration at scale across the UK and beyond.”
Stephen PriorCo-founder Forest Carbon
"Forests are increasingly affected by the impacts of climate change — with only one in five trees considered healthy. Yet they play a vital role in climate change mitigation: absorbing carbon, safeguarding biodiversity, and acting as natural climate regulators. By reforesting damaged areas with climate-resilient, site-appropriate tree species and promoting sustainable forest management, we can boost carbon storage and strengthen forest resilience to extreme weather events. In doing so, reforestation makes a meaningful contribution to both environmental preservation and global climate protection."

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.
