Our Focus
We promote community-based sustainable projects through carbon finance all around the world.
Our Experience And Interest In The Four PCIA Central Focus Areas
We work with local organizations which are more aware of the local social/cultural barriers, and try to overcome them through different development projects in rural areas.
We try to improve the development of improved cooking technologies (biogas, improved cookstoves,etc.) by financing the partner activities and building the local capacity in terms of technology and carbon finance.
We already support biogas projects in India and China, solar cookstoves project in Bolivia and Peru and began an improved cookstoves project in India.
We are focusing on scaling-up existing projects.
Carbon projects require constant, intensive monitoring surveys. Our supported projects can include following-up on pollution exposure and health in these surveys, based on questions asked.
