How can we measure the impact of climate projects?

Measuring the impact of climate projects involves assessing various factors like carbon emissions reduction, biodiversity improvement, and community benefits. What specific aspect are you interested in?

I'm particularly interested in carbon emissions reduction.

For carbon emissions reduction, you can use metrics like the amount of CO2 offset, energy savings, and changes in fossil fuel usage. Have you considered any specific projects?

Yes, I want to evaluate a reforestation project.

Great choice! For a reforestation project, you can measure the number of trees planted, the area reforested, and the estimated carbon sequestration over time. Would you like to know more about the methodologies?

Yes, please explain the methodologies.

Common methodologies include remote sensing for area measurement, carbon accounting protocols, and community surveys to assess local benefits. Each method has its strengths and limitations.
