Science-based Targets

Science-based targets present to organisations a clear picture of how much emissions they need to reduce to prevent worst case scenario from climate change.

Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development, meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a continuously changing and dynamic process to meet today’s needs while protecting the environment and future generations.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)

The Sustainable Development Goals (SGD) are 17 areas of action and objectives that have the potential to positively change our world for ever.

Enhanced Weathering

Enhanced weathering is the acceleration of weathering to achieve in a shorter period more capture of CO2.

Carbon Footprint

Carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) that are directly or indirectly produced by an individual, organization, product, service or event.

Corporate Sustainability

Corporate sustainability refers to the impact that business have in the environment or society.

Results-based climate finance

A financing approach under which a donor disburses funds for the achievement and independent verification of a pre-agreed set of results. Some donors use the delivery and subsequent cancellation of carbon credits as a vehicle to disburse results-based climate finance. In this case, the donor does not use the emission reductions or removals to achieve its own mitigation targets or goals.

Non-Permanence

Non-permanence refers to a situation where the emission reductions or removals generated by the mitigation activity are later reversed, for example due to a natural disaster or project mismanagement. The mitigation activity thus may only result in a temporary greenhouse gas benefit for the atmosphere.
