Turning your climate ambition into impact

The project enables the sequestration of large volumes of carbon from the atmosphere by rehabilitating 25,000 ha of degraded rainforest in Sabah through enrichment planting with indigenous dipterocarps, the fast-growing pioneer tree, and forest fruit trees. It also prevents the relogging of the forest in the area.

Restoring tropical rainforests in Sabah, on the island of Borneo, is sequestering carbon and conserving biodiversity, including orangutans, red langurs, Bornean (pygmy) elephants, and rhinoceros hornbills. It also provides employment and training opportunities to dozens of local community members, both women and men.

This project focuses on community-led woodland restoration in extensively degraded areas where cattle grazing is restricted. By enhancing above-ground vegetation and biodiversity, it sequesters carbon from the atmosphere, storing it in both vegetation and soil to mitigate the effects of climate change.

The project collaborates with communities and smallholder farmers to enhance ecosystem services and boost cash income for landless farmers. The project helps local people in implementing enrichment planting, adopting improved management practices, and installing distillation units to produce frankincense oil and beehives for honey production.

Landowners who voluntarily enroll in the project commit to planting and protecting trees, reducing nearly 100 tonnes CO2 equivalent per hectare. Carbon finance from these credits supports Arbor Day Foundation’s mission to plant trees in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley and throughout the United States.

Reforestation helps protect against hurricane and flood damage, controlling soil and nutrient run-off. The forestland is also a vital habitat for numerous plant and animal species. The project helps initiate sustainable tree harvesting, which creates jobs for harvesters and wood processors.

This afforestation project is located on 18,988 hectares in Northern Uruguay formerly used for cattle grazing for over 50 years. The forests were planted beginning in 2006, with Eucalyptus for 16 years rotation and Pinus for 21 years rotation and will be replanted upon harvesting.

The project is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), balancing timber production and sales with habitat creation. The forests will store carbon in pools such as living above-ground and below-ground biomass, soil, litter, dead wood as well as harvested wood.

This project engages local community members to plant trees and allows local farmers to grow crops, via intercropping, on degraded lands. Tree planting includes a mix of teak and indigenous trees following the principles of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Additionally, water infrastructure has been installed in the local villages to engage communities.

In addition to delivering emission removals, over 1,000 jobs have been created, and at the outset, more than 6,000 hectares of project land is available to local farmers for intercropping. 40% of jobs created to be filled by women and 25% of the available areas for intercropping to be allocated to female farmers.

Bondhu Chula means friendly stove and is designed with a chimney to burn more efficiently and to take harmful smoke and pollutants out of the house. Carbon finance subsidizes the cost of the stove for end users and funds training programs for local entrepreneurs to learn how to make and install the stoves.

Millions of stoves have already been installed, reducing fuel use by up to 50% and saving money for each family. This project is creating a market for efficient stoves in Bangladesh, involving thousands of entrepreneurs in manufacturing and distribution networks.

Carbon finance allows the project to offer interest-free loans with no upfront cost so families can begin to save on fuel costs immediately. Together, the water filter and efficient cookstove can reduce a household’s fuel consumption and emissions by over half.

The Ecofiltro ceramic filter is made locally of clay and sawdust to filter up to two litres of water per hour, which reduces emissions from boiling water and deforestation for fuel. The project employs hundreds of people in local production and distribution.

Carbon funding empowers microentrepreneurs, mostly women, to distribute affordable clean energy solutions such as solar lighting, efficient stoves and water purifiers with clean energy microloans, scaling the reach through microfinance.

This project puts communities at the heart of the clean energy transition in India. It addresses indoor air pollution from inefficient lamps and stoves, waterborne illness from unsafe water, and lost productivity in the evening without reliable lighting.

Orb Energy installs and services high-quality solar energy systems for residential and commercial customers in India. This project has brought over 160,000 solar power and solar water heating systems to customers throughout the country to cut emissions and replace the use of kerosene or electricity from a grid reliant on fossil fuels.

Businesses can now operate for longer and more consistently with a solar energy system. Household solar water heating reduces electricity bills by more than 50% and lighting at home means greater opportunity for children to study after the sun goes down. Indoor air pollution is also avoided by replacing kerosene lamps previously used to light homes.
