The world’s first rating on ecosystem resilience to reverse biodiversity loss
recarb is a science-based rating and monitoring system for the success factors of restoration projects in tropical forests.
Our product
What we tackle
Lack of trust and knowledge about operational risks.
Climate projects often do not restore nature but just create plantations for short-term carbon storage which cause further harm to ecosystems.
Investors do not posses the technical knowledge to understand the risks of different restoration projects across multiple geographies, whilst current standards do not consider ecosystem resilience.
Systemic Risks
The destruction of nature and the overstepping of planetary boundaries is destroying economic resources.
Regulatory Risks
Governments are defining strict rules for companies to act upon reversing biodiversity loss.
Reputation risks
Companies that destroy forests and biodiversity will not survive on the market in the long term.
recarb follows scientific organisations and standards
Our approach
A Due Diligence focused on operational risks for tropical forest restoration.
Our due diligence is risk-based, which means projects are evaluated according to the likelihood of success for the chosen forest restoration strategy.
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.
