ALTERNATIVE CARBON manages its projects in partnership with international and local authorities. The Group is involved both in compliance and voluntary carbon markets. With a multidisciplinary approach, they identify, analyze and select the best investments in terms of quality and return on investment. The selection of projects is also based on sustainability criteria and socio-economic benefits for the local communities.

Our projects include REDD - Afforestation and reforestation - Forest management - Commercial plantations - Reduction of emissions of greenhouse gas - Production of renewable energies.

More Information

Tropical forests are rapidly disappearing. Effectively battling climate change, therefore, is simply impossible without an earnest attempt to constrain tropical deforestation. Under emerging climate treaties, developing countries engaging in activities that Reduce Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) will be able to certify and sell carbon offsets equal to the amount of avoided emissions. The UN-REDD Programme is the United Nations Collaborative initiative on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) in developing countries.

Deforestation and forest degradation account for nearly 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions, more than the entire global transportation sector and second only to the energy sector.
