The platform allows individuals and companies to support a number of standards-certified projects around the world which contribute to global carbon avoidance and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
Each investment generates a verified carbon contribution.
The platform is powered by the Climate Company and TIACA member South Pole is funding critical climate projects across the sustainability areas of nature-based solutions, renewable energy and improved community and living conditions.
Each project has undergone assessment and is subject to ongoing monitoring to ensure they deliver measurable benefits to create healthy ecosystems, thriving communities and prosperous economies.
Steven Polmans, Chairman of TIACA, says, “We are proud to offer this new service to the air cargo industry as it allows individual companies to take action today and invest in climate projects without having to go through the lengthy process of identifying and selecting high-quality, verified and impactful climate projects themselves.”
Glyn Hughes, Director General of TIACA adds that key outcomes of TIACA’s sustainability surveys were the need for support and guidance where companies can improve their sustainability profile and how to gain access to carbon contribution programs.
He says, “The TIACA BlueSky program, entering its second year, has already helped many small, medium and large companies get a better understanding of where they are along their journey of sustainable transformation and now with the launch of this new platform, we can provide access to environmental improvement projects which will help in the global fight to addressing climate change.”
The platform is open access and gives users access to detailed project information about different technologies and certification standards, help educate the air cargo industry on funding climate action and reduce barriers to carbon credit procurement.
