CarbonFix is a leading standard for climate forestation projects worldwide. The aim of CarbonFix is to increase the amount of sustainably managed forests thereby decreasing global CO2 levels. A key factor considered by CarbonFix is the local effects of the projects, which is why, not only carbon is sought but also strong emphasis is given to local ecological and social co-benefits.
CarbonFix is an independent non-profit NGO which has been working in the field of forestry and climate change since 1999. In 2007 the CarbonFix Standard was developed by the CarbonFix technical board along with academics, international development specialists, foresters, economists, and environmental scientists. Since then, it has been credited as being the most robust and transparent standard available for climate forestation projects.
Credits purchased from CarbonFix certified forests are highly transparent because their innovative and simple tracing methods available on the CarbonFix website. Google maps of the trees locations, pictures and a detailed project description allow carbon buyers to see exactly where their CO2 is being stored.
