Climate Change & Environment



Climate Change & Environment As the consequences of climate change become more apparent, development of methods to address the situation becomes more critical. Winrock offers vital expertise in areas such as carbon measurement and monitoring, Payment for Environmental Services (PES), clean energy development and implementing sustainable agricultural methods. In addition to the process of PES, which rewards people and communities for protecting natural resources and using them in a sustainable way, Winrock is helping communities generate income from programs such as REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation). This not only ensures protection for natural resources, but provides sustainable livelihoods, as well.

Climate Change & Environment American Carbon Registry Winrock's nonprofit American Carbon Registry (ACR) is a leading international carbon offset program recognized for its strong standards for environmental integrity.
