Peatlands are a type of acidic wetland ecosystem in which the soil is so waterlogged that anaerobic conditions occur. This inhibits the decomposition of dead plant matter, causing an accumulation of peat, which is made up of partially decayed plant matter and is rich in carbon. 

We know forest carbon accounting can be complex, but transparency is crucial to ensure the credibility and effectiveness of NBS project types in mitigating carbon emissions. Improved Forest Management can increase avoidance & removal of carbon emissions through planned activities over business-as-usual projections. 

ClimeCo was recently featured in Sustainable Brands, highlighting our Indonesia reforestation project with YAKOPI and Pur Projet and the need for nature-based projects to drive climate, economic, and ecological impacts. 

The article by our Sr. Manager of Industrial Innovations, Kayla Carey, Sr. Manager of Strategic Policy and Markets, Zach Harmer, Sr. Associate, Wilson Fong, and Policy Associate, Braeden Larson, discusses how the cement sector must overcome barriers to reach net-zero target by 2050. 

The resources necessary to sustain an ever-increasing human population have placed an unprecedented burden on the world’s biodiversity. Satellite imagery of our planet reveals the devastating effects human development has imposed on the natural world. 

This Carbon Pulse article, by Kayla Carey, Senior Manager of Industrial Innovations, & Andrew Primo, Manager of Program Development, discusses the need to scale decarbonization strategies for the cement industry and explains why this hard-to-abate sector is an ideal candidate for the voluntary carbon market.

Through exploring how blue carbon differs from ‘regular’ carbon, which ecosystems sequester it, and the interwoven community and biodiversity benefits, it’s clear that blue carbon projects have a fundamental role in addressing and mitigating climate change.

On the fringes of Earth’s continents lies one of nature’s greatest climate regulation mechanisms: vast reserves of organic carbon known as blue carbon. “Blue carbon” refers to the organic carbon captured and stored in coastal and marine ecosystems and can be used to refer to the marine habitats that sequester and store carbon dioxide.

We understand the importance of setting an example for honest and transparent reporting of our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. That’s the goal of ClimeCo’s 2021 Impact Report, our first external report for environmental, human capital, economic, and governance issues.

ClimeCo announces a partnership with YAKOPI (Yayasan Konservasi Persisir Indonesia) and PUR Projet for the reforestation of vital mangroves in the Aceh and North Sumatra Regions of Indonesia.
