Price: Start from $8.00/tCO₂e

Project Story

The Floresta Verde REDD+ Project in Pará, Brazil, spans 53,528 hectares and aims to reduce over 7,749,856 tCO2e from 2016 to 2046 by preserving the Amazon Rainforest. Addressing deforestation from agriculture, mining, and logging, it combines conservation with community involvement, creating jobs, educational workshops, and promoting ecotourism. The project has employed 95 locals, and protected habitats for five endangered species, including the White-crested Guan and Golden Parakeet.

Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) Impact

Fairatmos Evaluation Criteria

Conservative estimation

We review the carbon credits quantification to make sure it was done using assumptions that were conservative to mitigate over-crediting risks

Additionality

We handpick projects with strong additionality to make sure the carbon emission reduction or removal was made possible only because of the project interventions

Safeguards

We ensure safeguards were put in place to act as buffer against leakage and non-permanence risks

Benefits beyond carbon

We assess and measure project impacts on community, biodiversity, and other climate benefits beyond carbon
