RBI’s realized a 17,1 MtCO2 emission reduction

Since the formal start of the REDD+ Business Initiative in 2013, its members collectively purchased CO₂-credits from REDD+ projects to the equivalent of 17,1 MtCO₂. An increase of nearly 1 MtCO₂  since 2021.

Of this amount, 2,8 MtCO₂ came from the RBI’s Flagship project Tambopata-Bahuaja Biodiversity Reserve in Peru. With these purchases, our members helped not only to preserve large areas of pristine tropical forests, but also supported over 400 jobs, including the improvement of agricultural practices, opening trade channels and acquiring land rights.
