🔎 New Insights from hummingbirds on ARR Projects Hummingbird has shared a comprehensive article on the critical role of Afforestation, Reforestation, and Regeneration (ARR) projects in the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM). Here are some key takeaways: 🌳 Boosting Global Reforestation: ARR projects are essential for VCM, with 250 certified projects and 300+ in the pipeline. The demand for climate change mitigation is driving global forest planting initiatives. 🌍 Global Reach: ARR projects span five continents, with India, China, Colombia, Brazil, and Uganda leading in project numbers. Uruguay, China, Colombia, Brazil, and Uganda top the list in issued carbon credits. 🌱 Species Diversity: Globally, ARR projects use 590 tree species. Agroforestry projects are the most diverse, with an average of 29 species per project. In contrast, commercial plantations typically use fewer, often exotic species. 🔄 Harvesting Practices: 69% of ARR projects include harvesting, with cycle lengths ranging from 4 to 80 years. Shorter rotations, often driven by economic motives, can impact carbon benefits and sustainability. 📊 Need for Transparency: The study highlights the need for standardized and transparent project documentation to ensure consistency and accessibility of information. This is crucial for the success and sustainability of ARR projects. ARR projects are a cornerstone in Cercarbono's efforts to combat climate change. By certifying and supporting diverse and impactful reforestation initiatives, we contribute significantly to global sustainability and carbon sequestration. #ClimateChange #Sustainability #Reforestation #CarbonCredits #ARRProjects #Cercarbono

🌍 Ever wondered what a carbon standard actually does? 🤔 Let's break it down! 🌿 ✅ What We Do: -Ensure projects adhere to specific methodologies for calculating emissions reductions. - Certify carbon offset projects to meet rigorous standards. - Ensure project design, implementation, and emission reductions are up to par. - Provide credibility and transparency in the carbon market. 📊🛠️ ❌ What We Don't Do: - Create or generate carbon offsets themselves. - Replace regulatory compliance or oversight. -Set carbon prices or determine financial incentives for carbon projects 🔍 So next time you hear about carbon standards, remember it's all about credibility and impact! 💡 Got questions? Leave them below! Let's keep the planet green together! 🌱💚

🚀 Nos complace compartir que nuestra Directora Técnica del Programa de Carbono de Catalina Romero Vargas participó en el Segundo Evento de Intercambio de Conocimientos: EXPLORANDO LAS OPORTUNIDADES Y DESAFÍOS DE REDD+ JURISDICCIONAL EN COLOMBIA organizado por Wildlife Conservation Society, Winrock International y Climate Law and Policy. 🌿 Nuestra Directora Técnica intervino en el Panel de Discusión 2, donde se abordaron las perspectivas técnicas sobre los desafíos y oportunidades de alinear las líneas de base de proyectos con los enfoques de mapeo de riesgos a nivel jurisdiccional. 🌳 Destacó la viabilidad de alinear las líneas base jurisdiccionales, gracias a nuestra metodología REDD+, que integra directamente la construcción metodológica planteada en los NREF (Niveles de Referencia de Emisiones Forestales) adoptados por los países. Subrayó que la implementación de nuestra metodología previene la doble contabilidad, mediante una disgregación independiente de las actividades REDD+ que garantiza una contabilidad única y precisa. 💼 Además, resaltó nuestro compromiso con las exigencias del mercado de carbono, desarrollando herramientas marco financieras y procedimientos normativos que aseguran el cumplimiento normativo y técnico de las iniciativas de mitigación del cambio climático. Desde Cercarbono nos esforzamos continuamente en establecer provisiones que respondan a las apuestas del mercado, fortaleciendo así la confianza y efectividad en las acciones climáticas. 🔄 Durante el evento, se clarificaron conceptos clave como el anidamiento, entendido como la articulación normativa y técnica, y el enfoque jurisdiccional, analizando sus formas descentralizada y centralizada. Mientras que el enfoque descentralizado permite una mayor participación a nivel de proyecto, el enfoque centralizado posiciona al Estado como un actor clave en el proceso. Ambas formas fueron evaluadas minuciosamente, identificando sus fortalezas y debilidades, y subrayando la importancia de una regulación normativa estatal efectiva. Agradecemos a todos los participantes y organizadores por este valioso espacio de intercambio y aprendizaje. ¡Seguimos comprometidos con la construcción de un futuro más sostenible! 🌍 #Cercarbono #REDDPlus #CambioClimático #Sostenibilidad #Carbono #MedioAmbiente #EventoREDD

♻ Two years ago, Carlos Trujillo Echeverri from Cercarbono formed a transformative alliance with ALLCOT led by Alexis Leroy and Basura Cero Global / Global Zero Waste led by Sandra Milena Pinzón García to pioneer the Circular Economy Methodology for Encouraging Plastic Recycling under the Voluntary Programme on Circular Economy (VPCE). Today, as we reflect on our journey since then, we celebrate the profound impact we've collectively made in advancing sustainable practices. 🤝 Our alliance has been instrumental in quantifying and issuing Circular Plastic Credits (CPC), empowering Developers of Circular Economy Materials Programs or Projects (PMECs) to enhance plastic recycling initiatives worldwide. This initiative not only supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) but also addresses plastic pollution through integrated social, environmental, and economic strategies. Looking forward, Cercarbono continues to invite organizations committed to sustainability to partner with us. Together, we can develop PMECs and register initiatives for Circular Plastic Credits, contributing to global pollution reduction and fostering a more sustainable future.
