Kenya

Kenya Coastal Forest

The Kenya Coastal Forest Carbon Project represents a significant opportunity to generate high-quality nature-based carbon credits through a forest carbon project. This initiative will support the restoration and protection of critical habitats, prevent irreversible loss of biodiversity for endemic and range-restricted species, and contribute towards community development and resilience.
Tanzania

Eastern Arc Mountains

The Eastern Arc Mountains Project aims to sequester carbon through reforestation (ARR) and avoid unplanned deforestation (REDD+). Restoring and conserving this forested area that is globally recognized biodiversity hotspot will generate co-benefits for communities and nature, ultimately supporting livelihoods and community well-being long-term.
Zambia

Southern Zambia

The Southern Zambia Carbon Project area offers significant potential for restoring woodlands and grasslands while enhancing watershed conservation and wildlife corridor connectivity. Local communities are motivated to drive alternative livelihoods and initiatives supporting landscape restoration. The project focuses on assisted natural regeneration, nurseries for reforestation and enrichment planting of key species, and preventing ecosystem conversion through forest monitoring by guards, community groups, and government oversight.

Program Overview

What Do We Do?

Eden has specialized in designing and implementing large-scale natural climate solutions since 2005. Through our collaboration with communities across nine countries, together, we have planted over millions of trees

In recent years, we have expanded our tree planting and restoration project portfolio through our subsidiary, Compassionate Carbon, to include Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) carbon projects. As a vertically integrated developer, we oversee every landscape restoration project aspect in-house, from origination to development to implementation. By embracing a community-focused approach to landscape restoration, our objective is to go beyond carbon to develop and implement projects that generate substantive benefits to local communities, regional biodiversity, and the global climate.

Eden develops AFOLU project interventions with the outcome of generating high-quality carbon credits for corporates and investors to apply towards voluntary carbon offset projectss or for governments looking to achieve their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. We also offer opportunities for investors to partner with our landscape restoration projects early and have an impact in expanding the benefits we can offer to communities and their ecosystems.

  • Quantification of carbon impacts by providing verified carbon credits that may be used or traded globally to meet internal commitments, business goals, global emission reduction targets, or obligations for industry-specific compliance.

  • Facilitation of nature-based solutions to support sovereign states in fulfilling their emission reduction commitments to reinforce the implementation of NDCs and meet governments’ global emissions targets.

What is Our Process?

Integrated with a science-based approach rooted in community engagement, our process encompasses six distinct steps, each with clear outcomes:

  • The initial phase assesses whether the area of interest is viable for a carbon project. This involves evaluating factors such as project size, location, potential benefits, applicable standards and methodologies, and potential risks.

  • At this stage, we define the fundamentals of the restoration project including baseline scenarios, site cover analysis, stakeholder engagement, project budget, risk assessment, and projected carbon issuance.

  • This phase involves developing the Theory of Change, a logic framework, and the Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) process, as well as implementation plans. We also complete the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) process and file for project validation.

  • A third-party auditor, known as a Validation/Verification Body (VVB), approved by the Standard, conducts a thorough assessment of the project.

  • We execute the full restoration project plan, which may include activities such as planting trees, removing invasive species, restoring ecosystems, and monitoring progress over time.

  • Approximately 18 months to 6 years after project validation, verification events take place, allowing for the issuance of carbon credits.

How Do We Ensure High-Quality Carbon Credits?

With nearly two decades of experience in reforestation and restoration implementation, we develop carbon projects using rigorous methodologies under the Verified Carbon Standard by Verra with the addition of rigorous standards and principles, including The Climate, Community, and Biodiversity Standards (CCB) and the ICVCM’s Core Carbon Principles (CCP). Our approach to achieving high-quality carbon credits includes:

By prioritizing these components, our projects not only deliver top-tier carbon solutions, but also generate significant co-benefits for climate, communities, and biodiversity.
