CARE’s new climate and environment policy addresses scope 1 and 2 emissions, demonstrating their commitment to reducing our carbon footprint. However, CARE believes that tackling scope 3 emissions is essential to achieving true sustainability. Their high quality carbon projects reduce scope 3 emissions while delivering tangible benefits to communities, particularly women and girls.
CARE’s approach goes beyond generating carbon credits. They prioritise community empowerment, equitable participation of men and women and equitable benefit sharing. They rely on evidence-based learning and rigorous monitoring and evaluation to ensure that projects have a lasting impact, contribute to climate resilience and advance sustainable development goals. By adhering to the highest standards and advocating for systemic change in the carbon market, CARE strives to ensure the integrity and effectiveness of carbon projects, in line with the goals of our Vision 2030.
