ClimatePal certified projects bring benefits to the environment and for local communities
Here you can find an overview on projects that can be certified under ClimatePal. The list is not exhaustive and what really matters for us is that a carbon credit project meets the basic requirements and ClimatePal criteria.
Large-scale afforestation in Kyrgyzstan’s mountainous regions
This projects involves afforestation activities on over 5,000 hectars to contribute to climate change mitigation, ecosystem services, and biodiversity enhancement.
Project activity type – Nature-based
Contribution to the SDGs
Soil carbon accumulation in agriculture
These projects aim at permanently removing carbon and store it in agricultural soils, through the implementation of advanced agricultural management practices focusing on the enhancement of soil health.
Project activity type – Nature-based
Contribution to the SDGs
Biochar carbon sequestration
Biochar is a carbon-rich solid material made from biomass, exposed to high temperatures and limited oxygen content. These projects aim at using biochar as soil amendment restoring soil carbon content and ultimately mitigating climate change.
Project activity type – Nature-based
Contribution to the SDGs
Blue carbon – Mangrove restoration
Mangroves provide critical ecosystem services to the local communities such as fish and timber production, clean water supply, and tourism. At the same time, mangroves remove CO2 from the atmosphere. These projects aim at improving coastal ecosystems conditions to increase carbon storage potential.
Project activity type – Nature-based
Contribution to the SDGs
Rewetting of peatlands
Peatlands are one of the largest natural terrestrial carbon sinks which a great potential for climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation and provision of clean water. These projects aim to the protection and restoration of peatlands through rewetting.
Project activity type – Nature-based
Contribution to the SDGs
Restoration of forest ecosystem services
Forests are well known for their carbon storage capacity. These projects focus on the restoration of degraded or overexploited forests to ultimately restore ecosystem services, increase carbon storage and increase the well-being of local communities.
