CONTEXT

Reforest’Action is linking its activities to the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM). It intends to use carbon finance as a tool to leverage development of forest-related projects with outstanding value for communities, soil, biodiversity, and climate.

The VCM is a market-based tool designed to channel financial flows towards mitigation solutions including enhancement of natural carbon pools. It allows individuals and organizations to finance Nature Based Solution projects with demonstrated carbon removals. The VCM is expected to grow 15-fold by 2030 and demand for forest-based projects is already driving the development of our reforestation and afforestation activities.
