Building a transparent and reliable certification system
We combine the certification of high-quality carbon credits with smart-tracking and a convenient process for project developers.
Welcome to ClimatePal
We are a unique system that combines certification of high-quality carbon credits with smart tracking of project steps, user-friendly, and quick certification process.
The special focus on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and social co-benefits creates added value to certified projects making them more than just a GHG savings activity.
ClimatePal considers only carbon credits generated meeting all relevant criteria, applying approved methodologies, and successfully undertaking third-party verification. To ensure high-quality, ClimatePal certifies only carbon credits that fulfill both Basic and Specific criteria.
Basic requirements
We create added value
Additionality
Carbon offsetting project should not be implemented without the financing from carbon offsetting and in presence of respective legalization requirements.
Permanence
The alleged emissions do not enter the atmosphere for a reasonable period, avoiding the risk of reversal. Our solution –risk management mechanism and “buffer pool” creation.
No Double-counting
The same emissions reductions/removals should not be claimed/sold twice. Emission reductions must be traceable to ensure that they have not already been sold or may be sold more times in the future.
No Leakage
Carbon offsetting project should not create emissions outside the boundaries of the project.
Verifiability
The alleged emissions reductions have been quantified and verified by an independent third party. Our solution – insurance of MRV process in place with VVB rotation in every 3 years.
ClimatePal specific
More than just GHG savings
Contribution to SDG
To be certified under ClimatePal emission reduction/removal project should contribute to at least 3 SDGs.
Provision of Ecosystem Services
To be certified under ClimatePal emission reduction/removal project should protect/restore/conserve Ecosystem Services.
Enhancing Biodiversity
To be certified under ClimatePal emission reduction/removal project should justify its positive effect to biodiversity.
Positive Social Impact
To be certified under ClimatePal, emission reduction/removal project should create a valuable social impact.
Do no net harm
Carbon offsetting project should consider related environmental and social risks and take actions to prevent and mitigate associated harm.

Certification of
offsetting projects
ClimatePal is a global offsetting standard that certifies offsetting projects worldwide. To get their offsetting project certified, project developers undertake the following steps.
