Projected CO2 Reduction

More than just compensation

Our BOKU climate protection projects

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.

What does climate neutrality actually mean?

Maximilian Auer – one of our student employeeswww.fuj.at) – explains the concept of climate neutrality on the basis of an epic underground battle in his short film "THE CLIMATE FIGHT": Two dangerous adversaries challenge "emission". Will the challengers succeed in winning the fight and preventing the escalation of the climate crisis... ?

Our Approach

For us, climate protection means...

Prevent - Reduce - Compensate

Prevent - Reduce - Compensate

As a reputable partner in matters of climate and environmental initiatives, it is important for us to first exhaust all possibilities of CO2prevention and reduction. This is why we don't just offer our customers carbon offsetting programmes, but also climate services to support them in cutting their emissions.

Certified quality

Certified quality

All BOKU climate mitigation projects are carefully selected by a scientific advisory board and are subject to strict monitoring. Our calculations of CO2 emissions are based on the IPCC principles and CDM technologies.

Effective and holistic benefits

Effective and broad benefits

Our climate mitigation projects store around 150,000 tons of CO2. In addition, we place great value on biodiversity, gender equality, participation, and education. More than 90 percent of donations go directly to our climate mitigation projects, as our staff is financed by BOKU funds or through consulting projects.
