What we tackle

The risks of ecosystem restoration projects are difficult to quantify, mitigate and control.

Project design often disregards biome-specific baselines and local livelihoods. Such approaches do not enhance resilience, can inflict further harm to ecosystems and make carbon sequestration paths highly uncertain.

Simultaneously, investors lack the technical knowledge to understand the risks associated with the projects they finance.

Project Performance Risks

The high failure rate of restoration projects carries significant financial risks and can undermine the trajectory of your climate strategy.

Project Developer Risks

The prior conduct and performance of the project developer entails supplier risk which can harm your reputation.

Carbon accounting risks

Carbon sequestration models make estimations based on generalised parameters, making the quantification of your impact imprecise.

“Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse” is viewed as one of the fastest deteriorating global risks over the next decade, and all six environmental risks feature in the top 10 risks over the next 10 years.

recarb's methodology incorporates the guidelines of

Our approach

A digital due diligence focused on the operational risks of tropical forest restoration.

recarb’s science-based rating system makes the performance of tropical forest restoration visible.

We empower investors in evaluating projects through the lens of livelilhoods impact, credible carbon claims and long-term nature resilience.
Ecological Recovery

An evaluation of the restoration strategy, including land rights, isolation of degradation factors and biodiversity conservation.

Livelihoods

Captures how Free, Prior, and Informed Consent is applied throughout the project, alongside benefits sharing and leadership structures.

Carbon

An assessment of the principles for carbon estimation, covering additionality, regulatory surplus and potential barriers to the project.

Project Developer Assessment

A rating of the project developer’s financial health, past performance, governance, compliance, and social responsibility.

Ecological Recovery

Evaluation of the projects contribution to ecosystem resilience, e.g. plantation, maintenance and monitoring.

Livelihoods

A rating which captures how well the project fulfils criteria for IPLC and stakeholder engagement.

Carbon

The assessment of the key aspects of the carbon sequestration risks, e.g. additionality and permanence.

Transparency & Accountability

A rating of the trustworthiness of the project developer, e.g. regarding financial stability, reputation, etc.
