Nature and biodiversity
Protecting and restoring natural ecosystems is crucial to preserve biodiversity and combat climate change. Stopping deforestation is key to minimize emisions from land use change. But in order to reach net-zero, we also need to invest in natural carbon removal solutions that remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
Investing in nature based carbon removal solutions has significant impact on various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Afforestation and reforestation projects sequester atmospheric carbon, storing it in tree biomass. They hold the potential to improve biodiversity, soil fertility, and water retention, and they can provide a source of income for local communities.
Agroforestry can turn agricultural land into carbon sinks by sequestering carbon in woody biomass and soil. It can increase farmer income and has positive effects on the overall resilience of the farming system.
Ecosystems projects focus on the protection, restoration, or improved management of land-based and marine ecosystems. Examples include improved forest management, REDD+ and mangrove restoration. They are a key instrument in reducing deforestation and protecting biodiversity.
Support existing projects
