Chemonics International Awards Consortium of ecoPartners,
Offsetters and ClearSky Solutions Contract for Colombia REDD
Project Development
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec 4, 2013) -
Offsetters Climate Solutions Inc. ("OCS" or the "Company")
(TSX-VENTURE:COO)(FRANKFURT:9EA) is pleased to announce that
international development company, Chemonics International LLC
("Chemonics"), has awarded the consortium of Ecological Carbon
Offset Partners LLC ("ecoPartners"), ClearSky Climate Solutions LLC
("ClearSky") and Offsetters, the contract to develop project
documentation for their ongoing BioREDD+ program in Colombia, South
America.
Under the terms of the contract, the team of ecoPartners,
ClearSky and Offsetters will be responsible for developing and
writing complete Project Design Documentation for four unique REDD+
projects being undertaken by Chemonics and its partners in
Colombia. REDD - Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and
Degradation, is a carbon market mechanism that incentivizes land
owners to leave forests standing, thereby increasing carbon stocks
over time. Under Chemonics BioREDD+ program, the four projects will
be developed using both the Verified Carbon Standard ("VCS") to
recognize the carbon benefits, and the Climate, Community and
Biodiversity Alliance ("CCBA") Standard, which will recognize the
social, environmental and biodiversity impacts in the project
areas.
Funded by USAID, the BioREDD+ program in Colombia has run from
2011 and will run through 2014. Lead by Chemonics International,
OPTIM and Fundacion Natura, USD $27.8 million dollars will be
invested through multiple activities supporting biodiversity,
climate change mitigation (REDD) activities, and climate change
adaptation activities in the Choco and Caribbean regions. The major
goals of this program are the establishment of at least eight
financed REDD+ projects in the pacific region covering one million
hectares, as well as a carbon baseline for the pacific and amazon
regions in support of Colombia's regional REDD+ program.
"Our REDD technical team is excited to work alongside the
exceptional people at ecoPartners and ClearSky Climate Solutions,
both recognized leaders in technical carbon development work within
the REDD sector," commented Dr. James Tansey, CEO of Offsetters.
"Chemonics International is a world class development organization
that delivers very high quality, innovative, and effective
development solutions to their clients, and we are honoured to be
part of the team that helps them deliver high quality technical
solutions for their BIOREDD+ program in Colombia."
