A certified climate project combined with additional commitment
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.
Currently, tree planting is combined with a certified cookstove project in India (climatepartner.com/1499). By using more efficient cookstoves, less firewood is needed, thus minimising deforestation. Combined climate projects to date: solar energy, UP, Karnataka and Maharashtra, India (climatepartner.com/1429), solar energy, Jaloya, India (climatepartner.com/1390), afforestation, Guanaré, Uruguay (climatepartner.com/1148) and forest protection, Tambopata, Peru (climatepartner.com/1114).
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).
