Recarb

We make the risks and impacts of forest restoration visible. We do this by offering a digital due diligence which monitors operational risks and biodiversity gains throughout critical project phases. recarb’s methodology incorporates the guidelines of Ecosystem Restoration Standard (ERS), Integrity Council, TNFD, Gold Standard and Science based targets. HOW IT WORKS We empower investors in evaluating projects through the lens of livelilhoods impact, credible carbon claims and long-term nature resilience organized in the following categories: 1) A rating of the project developer’s financial health, past performance, governance, compliance, and social responsibility. 2) An evaluation of the restoration strategy, including land rights, isolation of degradation factors and biodiversity conservation. 3) An assessment of the principles for carbon estimation, covering additionality, regulatory surplus and potential barriers to the project. 4) An assessment of Livelihoods risks, which captures how Free, Prior, and Informed Consent is applied throughout the project, alongside benefits sharing and leadership structures. WHY recarb: 1) Evaluation happens during the design phase, allowing cost-effective pre-implementation corrections that increase the likelihood of success. 2) Projects are compared against the optimal restoration strategy for their biome and context, providing stable baselines against which practices and improvements can be measured. 3) Our innovative carbon sequestration model is based on a bespoke database of dendrometric parameters, enabling us to calculate a project’s sequestration potential using tree-level data instead of broad mathematical assumptions. 4) Our 360° due diligence covers a range of success factors unparalleled in the market, providing investors with the structure and depth needed to make decisions with confidence.
