PROJECT FEASIBILITY STUDY DESCRIPTION FOR MARKET RESEARCH Carbon Project Feasibility Studies - Reforestation projects - Clean cooking projects
To help address complex issues by creating an innovative and sustainable financing mechanism to invest in strengthening and scaling up reforestation and clean-cooking programs in climate-vulnerable refugee-hosting communities worldwide.
The carbon impact of these programs would be registered and verified to generate the first-ever large-scale refugee-generated carbon credits. The sale of these credits would help replenish the Fund, allowing it to re-invest in new reforestation and clean cooking programs, making the Fund more financially and operationally sustainable over time. The Fund’s environmental programs would in addition generate green jobs for refugees and host communities.
