Is the first Redd+ project to be Verified as working towards all 17 of the UN Sustainable Development goals under the Sustainable Development Verified Impact Standard (SD VISta)
The project initiatives are implemented with the dual goals of serving the needs of community members and other stakeholders located in and around our concession area along with the protection of a peat swamp forest almost the size of Singapore
Carbon credit income supports a forest and the community that depends on it.
Rimba Raya was the first validated REDD+ project – ever – under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and helped define the criteria by which all projects are measured.
We were also the first REDD+ forest-carbon project in the world to receive triple-gold validation under the Climate Community and Biodiversity Alliance Standard (CCBA)
