A company’s carbon footprint: What are Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions?

Type

Standard

Rimba Raya is the largest REDD+ project in the world. In terms of avoided emissions delivered to date, it protects nearly 65,000 hectares of peat swamp forest in Central Kalimantan in Indonesian Borneo and avoids more than 130 million tonnes of carbon emissions. The project forms a vital patrolled buffer zone between palm oil estates and the Tanjung Puting National Park, home to one of the last remaining wild populations of orangutans on earth, and provides economic and social upward mobility to local communities.

Rimba Raya was the first REDD+ project validated under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS). It has also received triple-gold validation under the Climate Community and Biodiversity Alliance Standard (CBB) and has been validated by the SD Vista Standard achieving the highest possible rating of contributing to all 17 UN SDGs.

Rimba Raya REDD+

Why should my business consider calculating, reducing and compensating for CO2 emissions?

Solar water pumps for salt farmers of Kutch, Gujarat, India

The project aims to install solar PV systems for operating the water pumps. Its beneficiaries are the salt farmers of Kutch (mostly women) who produce more than 75% of India’s salt. The farmers generally use diesel for pumping out water/ brine into the salt pans spending two-thirds of their earnings on fuel. With the installation of solar PV systems, diesel usage is replaced by a renewable energy source.

Low wages paid by middlemen and hard working conditions on the salt pans make the salt farmers marginalized workforce. The project is part of a movement initiated by SEWA (Self Employed Women’s Association) and GTNW (Grassroots Training Network for Women) to empower poor, self-employed women workers. The benefits include improved livelihoods, increased social welfare and reduced spending on fossil fuels.

Forest protection project in the Koh Kong Province of Cambodia

Southern Cardamom REDD+ is a forest protection project located in the Koh Kong Province in Cambodia. It is one of the 200 most important locations for biodiversity conservation on the planet. This important habitat is now part of Southern Cardamom National Park and Tatai Wildlife Sanctuary and protects a critical part of the Cardamom Mountains Rainforest Ecoregion. The project protects 52 species of IUCN threatened birds, mammals, and reptiles including Siamese crocodile and one of Cambodia's two viable populations of the Asian elephant.

Southern Cardamom REDD+ directly supports the livelihoods of 21 villages in nine communes in the project area. With new skills and new income opportunities, the communities can flourish and ease the pressure on the forest.

The project is validated under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), the Climate Community and Biodiversity Alliance Standard (CBB), and the SD Vista Standard.
