Enabling private investment to finance ecosystem restoration for Zimbabwe
Carbon Programme
Programme Overview
All projects within our Carbon Programme deliver carbon offset credits. These represent measurable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that are independently verified by third-parties. Carbon credits can be sold to organisations around the world to support their work towards becoming carbon neutral.
Our Carbon Programme takes each project through a strict set of protocols defined by certification standards such as Gold Standard and Verified Carbon Standard. We work alongside leading developers and implementing partners across each step of the project’s life cycle to unlock its full economic, social, and carbon potential.
Forestry and Nature Based Solutions
The Carbon Programme has built its initial portfolio around Nature Based Solution (NBS), with specific focus on forestry and sustainable land use. These projects seek to restore natural ecosystems, alongside delivering associated benefits to human wellbeing and biodiversity (IUCN).
NBS is a fundamental tool in reducing emissions and restoring biodiversity. Research from the UN Global Compact indicates that “NBS can provide over one third of the cost-effective climate mitigation needed between now and 2030 to stabilise warming to below 2 degrees Celsius.
