A certified climate project combined with additional commitment
This combined project contributes to the financing of a certified climate project and additionally supports nature conservation in Germany. For every tonne of CO2 saved through the contribution via a certified climate project, a financial contribution flows into measures that protect forest ecosystems in the Thuringian Slate Mountains. There we restore intensively used forests to their natural state, create mixed forests, increase the proportion of deadwood, install nesting boxes, and much more. In this way, we improve the habitats for animal species that have become rare, such as capercaillie and fire salamander.
Currently, the nature conservation is combined with a certified improved cookstoves project in Nigeria (climatepartner.com/1267). This climate project provides improved cookstoves, supports women and relieves the financial burden on families.
Combined climate project to date: afforestation, China (climatepartner.com/1508).
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).
