The Green 14 Initiative

A Unique Opportunity for Global Conservancy

• Combatting climate change – through avoided deforestation and degradation, but also by restoring ecosystems and their sequestration capacity resulting in an authentic, verified, reduction in carbon in the atmosphere

• Preventing future pandemics by combatting the illegal wildlife trade

• Protecting critical habitats which hold the balance of life in which we all depend, including many endangered species

• Addressing rural poverty by generating meaningful employment and creating community enterprises

Voluntary Carbon Market

• Developed with the aim of allocating global finance to activities which reduce greenhouse gas emissions in parallel to Kyoto Protocol

• One of the key outcomes of Paris Agreement was reaching consensus on limiting global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees

• Voluntary carbon credits direct private financing to climate-action projects that would otherwise not be achievable; many of which have enormous environmental and community benefits

Green 14

• A transformational partnership designed to deliver strategic global finance to support Africa's critical carbon sinks and heritage landscapes
