Project Developement

Forest protection is one of the most effective weapons in the fight against climate change. We identify, develop and finance forest conservation and restoration projects for the carbon market. We provide direction for project design and implementation, carry out the approval procedures, control the monitoring and appraisal of the projects and supply the forest carbon offsets. Subsequently we oversee implementation and verification for the whole duration of the project.

The Forest Carbon Group invests exclusively in projects to reforest and protect natural forests. The resulting forest carbon offsets are guaranteed, and issued in the form of so called VERs (Verified or Voluntary Emission Reductions).

We strive to support projects in areas that are under critical threat, and that address biodiversity, social and economical issues. We support a wide range of projects internationally, mostly in North and Central America and Africa.

The forest carbon offsets generated from these forest projects can be traded on the voluntary carbon market.

All projects are monitored and certified by independent and licensed auditing companies. They meet the highest internationally recognised standards like the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standard (CCBS). Together with our project partners we guarantee that project risks are hedged and that no “virtual” forest carbon offsets are generated and traded.  

We develop our forest projects in close cooperation with the local population, communities, and relevant partners in governments and civil society. Trust, transparency and solidity are our guiding principles.
