What we tackle

Lack of trust and knowledge about operational risks.

Climate projects often do not restore nature but just create plantations for short-term carbon storage which can further harm the ecosystems.


Investors cannot possibly understand the technical risks for different restoration projects across multiple geographies and current standards are not covering ecosystem resilience.

Systemic Risks

The destruction of nature and the overstepping of planetary boundaries is destroying economic resources.

Regulatory Risks

Governments are defining strict rules for companies to act upon reversing biodiversity loss.

Reputation risks

Companies that destroy forests and biodiversity will not survive on the market in the long term.

Our approach

A Due Diligence focused on operational risks for tropical forest restoration.

recarb’s rating system makes restoration of tropical forests performance visible so that investors can select high-quality projects with science-based impact, credible carbon claims, and resilience in the long run.

Our due diligence process is risk-based and projects are evaluated according to the likelihood of the potential success of the forest restoration strategy.
