Chemonics International Awards Second Contract for Colombia Redd
Project Development to Consortium of Ecopartners, Offsetters and
Clearsky
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Mar 21, 2014) -
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, a second contract ("Phase Two") to
develop project documentation for their ongoing BioREDD+ program in
Colombia, South America.
Under the terms of the new Phase Two contract, the team of
ecoPartners, ClearSky and Offsetters will be responsible for
developing and writing complete Project Design Documentation for
four additional 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 new projects will also 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.
"The initial work undertaken in Colombia by this consortium has
been well received by Chemonics, and we are pleased to have been
granted the opportunity to continue the work into Phase Two of the
program," commented Dr. James Tansey, CEO of Offsetters. "This new
contract will help Chemonics reach the goal of having eight unique
REDD programs established under the BIOREDD+ program in
Colombia."
