A certified climate project combined with additional commitment


International + France, 1 t CO2 + 1 tree

Climate project + tree plantingGet to know the project

This combined project contributes to the financing of a certified climate project and additionally supports tree planting in France. For every tonne of CO2 saved through the contribution via a certified climate project, we plant one tree in France. 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 in France is combined with a certified social impact project in India (climatepartner.com/1614). The project enables women microentrepreneurs in rural areas of India to access funding for improved cookstoves and solar lamps. Combined climate projects to date: forest protection, Lábrea, Brazil (climatepartner.com/1475), forest protection, Madre de Dios, Peru (climatepartner.com/1057) and forest protection, Mataven, Colombia (climatepartner.com/1402 and climatepartner.com/1288).

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

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.
