A certified climate project combined with additional commitmentThis combined project contributes to the financing of a certified climate project and additionally supports tree planting in the UK. For every tonne of CO2 saved through the contribution via a certified climate project, another tonne of CO2 is reduced through woodland creation in the UK. The woodland creation is accredited by the Woodland Carbon Code (WCC) and supports afforestation and the conversion of forests into more resilient mixed woodlands. Currently, the project in the UK is combined with a certified afforestation project in Uruguay (climatepartner.com/1184). The project covers about 22,000 hectares of land and aims to convert degraded grassland into forest. Combined climate projects to date: wind energy, Ovalle, Chile (climatepartner.com/1272), 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: CO2 sequestration through woodland creationWith our combined project, we combine verified emission reductions through a certified climate project with additional commitment. European ecosystems are also affected by climate change and forests play an important role: They are not only among the planet's most important carbon sinks but also are home to an enormous diversity of species and are the livelihood for all people. That is why we support afforestation and the conversion of forests into more resilient mixed woodlands that can better adapt to changing climate conditions.
We carry out tree plantings in cooperation with organisations that draw on years of in-depth expertise. In the UK, we collaborate with the Woodland Carbon Code (WCC), the national quality assurance standard for woodland creation. Their goal is to establish long-term carbon sinks that serve as a home for wildlife. The certified climate project is registered with international standards.
