BOKU climate mitigation projects offer much more than just reduction advice and compensation of greenhouse gas emissions. We emphasize on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with economic and social aspects of the local population being taken into account and the social value of mitigation activities. Our scientific advisory board ensures high standard compliance.
