Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) Impact

Fairatmos Evaluation Criteria

Conservative estimation

We review the carbon credits quantification to make sure it was done using assumptions that were conservative to mitigate over-crediting risks

Additionality

We handpick projects with strong additionality to make sure the carbon emission reduction or removal was made possible only because of the project interventions

Safeguards

We ensure safeguards were put in place to act as buffer against leakage and non-permanence risks

Benefits beyond carbon

We assess and measure project impacts on community, biodiversity, and other climate benefits beyond carbon

Active Monitoring

By Fairatmos

We leverage remote sensing and machine learning to monitor the land use change and verify findings against the project's claim.
