  • 1 t CO2 + Financial contribution, International + Lichtenau and Hunsrück, Germany
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 will go towards Bergwaldprojekt in Lichtenau and Hunsrück (Germany). In this way, we enable the renaturation of former peatlands and thus also the reintroduction of endangered animal and plant species.

Currently, the nature conservation project in Lichtenau and Hunsrück is combined with a certified solar energy project in India (climatepartner.com/1429). This climate project uses the power of the sun to produce renewable energy.

Combined climate projects to date: forest protection, Pará, Brasil (climatepartner.com/1056) and forest protection, Mataven, Colombia (climatepartner.com/1402 and climatepartner.com/1288).

Our additional commitment: a financial contribution for every tonne of CO2 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.

Contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Quality EducationThe project does important work in the field of environmental education by involving volunteers in the implementation of conservation measures during the project weeks.
Clean Water and SanitationIntact and restored peatlands contribute to high water quality.
Climate ActionPeatlands store a particularly large amount of CO2 and thus have a stabilising effect on the climate.
Life on LandPeatlands are sensitive ecosystems that are home to many protected animal and plant species.
