MODULAR GUIDE TO MANGROVE BLUE CARBON PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
Our modular guides cover the following steps in the project cycle:
MODULE 1 PRE-FEASIBILITY:
Determine if your project is viable based on a high-level overview of project requirements and a basic financial model.
MODULE 2 FEASIBILITY STUDY:
Create an in-depth feasibility study to pitch the project to potential funders.
MODULE 3 PROJECT DESIGN / PROJECT IDEA NOTE:
Begin designing the project and writing the first required project document, the Project Idea Note (PIN) or draft Project Description (PD).
MODULE 4 PROJECT REGISTRATION / PROJECT DESIGN DOCUMENT:
Create a project implementation plan and finalise the project design in the next project document, the Project Design Document (PDD) or Project Description (PD).
MODULE 5 VALIDATION AND VERIFICATION:
Begin project implementation and engage with a third-party validation and verification body (VVB) to have the project audited.
MODULE 6 MONITORING AND PROJECT CLOSE:
Earn carbon credits, market and sell credits to buyers, and continue project monitoring until project close and the project exit strategy.
The Fair Carbon platform is under development
Our modules, resources, and training content are being continually developed and reviewed. To get started, land managers, project developers, NGOs, and other user groups should register their projects here to receive updates. Follow us on social media to hear when we update or add to our content.
Fair Carbon modules currently support blue carbon projects in mangrove ecosystems pursuing registration under either the Plan Vivo or Verra standards.
Other ecosystems and standards will be added at a later date.
Fair Carbon is an independent Swiss non-profit organisation.
