Number of Goals this project addresses

Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss

Pina Earth offers high-quality carbon credits from local forests financing the adaptation of pure stands into climate-resilient ecosystems.

Project highlights

  • By transforming over 140 hectares made up of 75% pine and 13% larch dominated forest Pina Earth avoids and removes over 18,000 tons of CO2 emission over 30 years from the atmosphere
  • The project activities include planting multiple diverse, climate-resilient tree species such as douglas fir, beech and northern red oak as well as supporting the natural rejuvenation of young trees.
  • The Altmark project drives regional climate protection, while strengthening biodiversity and improving water quality.

About

European forests face imminent climate risks as they largely consist of monocultures heavily affected by bark beetles, droughts, and storms. More than half a million hectares of forest in Germany have died since 2018. Tackling this challenge requires turning endangered monocultures into climate-resilient, biodiverse forests - a process called ‘forest adaptation’.

Pina Earth develops this project in close collaboration with the local forest owner. The methodology is based on scientific models, was obtained in a public consultation and confirmed by an assessment report if the University of Göttingen.
