On the final day of World Water Week, we're thrilled to present our Carbon Credits Knowledge Brief! A recent report estimates that water-related projects worldwide could generate over 1.6 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent in carbon credits annually. In the #WASH sector, carbon credits are gaining traction as a valuable revenue source for SMEs focused on water and sanitation, contributing to climate change mitigation. While #carbon #finance can significantly enhance the sustainability of these enterprises, the certification process is complex and often cost-prohibitive, limiting the viability of carbon credits primarily to larger organisations. To support social enterprises in fully leveraging carbon credits, raising awareness of both the opportunities and challenges is crucial. This Carbon Credits Knowledge Brief, based on our experiences in the carbon space, delves into strategies for mobilising carbon finance to support water and sanitation enterprises in the Global South 👇 Read more about our Climate Strategy: https://bit.ly/3Xldbzv Aqua Clara Kenya | Aqua Clara Solutions | Cewas | Container Based Sanitation Alliance | Climate Impact Partners | ForthInvestment | Gold Standard | iDE (International Development Enterprises) | Intellecap | IRCWASH | Millennium Water Alliance (MWA) | Nazava Water Filters 💦 B Corp | Toilet Board Coalition | WaterAid | Young Water Solutions | Yunus Social Business | Green Climate Fund | Conrad N.
