Climate project + tree plantingGet to know the project

Dieses Kombiprojekt trägt zur Finanzierung eines zertifizierten Klimaschutzprojekts bei und unterstützt zusätzlich Baumpflanzungen in Deutschland. Pro Tonne CO₂, die durch den Beitrag über ein zertifiziertes Klimaschutzprojekt eingespart wird, pflanzen wir einen Baum in Deutschland. Auf diese Weise fördern wir den Umbau von strukturarmen Waldbeständen und Monokulturen in widerstandsfähigere Mischwälder, die sich besser an veränderte Klimabedingungen anpassen können.

Die Baumpflanzungen in Deutschland werden mit einem zertifizierten Aufforstungsprojekt in Uruguay kombiniert (climatepartner.com/1148). Über 300 Jahre Nutzung zur Beweidung von Rindern und Schafen haben den Boden in den Bezirken Cerro Largo und Treinta y Tres im Osten Uruguays stark zugesetzt. Ziel des Projekts ist es, dieses degradierte Grasland in einen Nutzwald umzuwandeln, sodass sich die intensiv genutzten Böden regenerieren und zukünftig wieder mehr Wasser und Nährstoffe aufnehmen können.

Our additional commitment: One tree for every tonne of CO₂ reduced

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: Tree species such as spruce suffer from drought because their shallow roots do not reach deeper, water-rich layers of soil. Thus, they are weakened and particularly susceptible to pests. Storms also take a heavy toll on these shallow-rooted tree species.

Our additional commitment addresses this issue and supports the reforestation and conversion to more resilient mixed forests: We plant trees in cooperation with experienced organisations and enable our customers to participate in the planting campaigns. The certified climate project is registered with international standards.

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

Project facts

Type
Reduction

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).

Location
International + Germany, 1 t CO2 + 1 tree

Standard
Combined Project: VERs + Regional Commitment

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.

Technology
Climate project + tree planting

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.
