A certified climate project combined with additional commitment
In October 2018, Storm Vaia caused severe damage across Northern Italy, particularly in Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige, and the Dolomites. With wind speeds exceeding 200 km/h, it uprooted trees on a massive scale, destroying around 6,000 hectares of forest.
This combined project creates double impact: it supports reforestation of the affected forest areas in Veneto and contributes to a certified climate project that reduces global emissions. For every tonne of CO₂ saved through the contribution to a certified climate project, a financial contribution goes to our partner 4Tree. This enables reforestation with climate-resilient mixed tree species – strengthening ecosystems and protecting against future extreme weather events.
Currently, the reforestation initiative is combined with a certified cookstove project in Kenya (climatepartner.com/1209). Improved cookstoves reduce smoke, improving indoor air quality and protecting the health of women and children.
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).
