community carbon
BACKGROUND
The Kilimanjaro Project is funded and supported by TNC
(The Nature Conservancy) Africa Forest Carbon Catalyst and the TNC Global Carbon Markets Team. TNC provided both financial and technical support to complete a feasibility study for our community carbon project.
The Kilimanjaro Project has partnered with TIST (The International Small Group & Tree Planting Program) to develop what is currently called the TIST DIY carbon model, that will allow TIST’s 20+ years of experiences to be shared, replicated and scaled. The models, tools and methodologies we are fine tuning will be open sourced and available for other restoration and community carbon projects.
Our mission is to create a model for scale and acceleration, connecting 1000s of smallholder farmers to global carbon markets, ensuring high integrity of our carbon credits.
BEYOND CARBON:
We believe carbon markets are an important financial mechanism with the ability to unlock the much needed long term finance to fairly compensate communities to protect and restore their ecosystems. However, in order to save the planet we need to look beyond carbon to other increasingly important land use value systems and community needs.
