India’s current electric power systems are highly dependent on carbon-intensive fossil fuels, mainly lignite and coal, as the country continues to face rapid growth in population and demand for energy. Feeding additional renewable energy to the electricity grids across India is therefore crucial to mitigate energy related emissions and reduce air pollution emitted by fossil fuel power plants.

With a total installed capacity of 49.5 MW, this wind energy project replaces fossil fuel powered power plants and avoids the emission of up to 73,000 tonnes of CO2-equivalent annually.

Thanks to the project activity, local expertise could be built up for the operation of this state-of the-art wind power project. Monitoring and maintenance of the employed technology can now be carried out by the trained, locally employed staff, adhering to strict emergency and safety procedures. Additional employment in the region was created, both during the construction period as well as the ongoing operations of the project. The project has a current workforce of 38 people working directly for the wind park, with annual training provided.

Feeding additional renewable energy to the electricity grids across India is therefore crucial to mitigate energy related emissions and reduce air pollution emitted by fossil fuel power plants.

With 13 wind turbines, a total installed capacity of 47.04 MW, this wind energy project replaces fossil fuel powered power plants and avoids the emission of up to 73,000 tonnes of CO2-equivalent annually.

Thanks to the project activity, local expertise could be built up for the operation of this state-of the-art wind power project. Monitoring and maintenance of the employed technology can now be carried out by the 10 trained, locally employed staff, adhering to strict emergency and safety procedures. Additional employment in the region was created, both during the construction period as well as the ongoing operations of the project.

The second greatest source of climate change after the burning of fossil fuels is deforestation. Since 1973, the island of Borneo has reported a loss of over 400,000 hectares (4,000 square kilometers) of rainforest. Since 2000, nearly half of Borneo’s forest depletion is attributable to the oil plantations for which the rainforests across Indonesia have been destroyed.
REDD+ stands for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation. United Nations REDD+ projects pursue long-term strategies to address the causes of deforestation and forest degradation.

This project has managed to protect 64,500 hectares of carbon-rich peat swamp forests with a high biodiversity in lowland Borneo from the conversion to palm oil plantations surrounding the entire project area.In total, more than 120 threatened and endangered species live in the project area, including the endangered Bornean orangutan.

The project activities prevent the release of 3.5 million metric tons of CO2 equivalents into the atmosphere each year. In addition, local communities are supported by providing training in sustainable agriculture, and biodiversity and wildlife habitat.

Many rural communities in Rwanda have no access to clean drinking water and rely on firewood to cook and sterilize their drinking water. This has far-reaching environmental, social and economic consequences - in addition to the impact on climate change and the associated increase in droughts and extreme weather events.

Access to clean water has numerous positive impacts on local communities: in addition to reduced reliance on firewood, it also leads to a reduction in the smoke-related health risks associated with the use of traditional 3-stone cooking stoves. By reducing the amount of time women spend fetching water, the project also helps improve gender equality.

This project installs new and rehabilitates existing water pumps to provide access to a hygienic and reliable water supply for the rural population, particularly in the arid regions of Rwanda. Other project activities focus heavily on local resident engagement and involvement, and include water quality testing, well maintenance training for local professionals, as well as education regarding the importance of proper sanitation and hygiene to curb the spread of disease and improve community health and well-being.

Despite the expansion of renewable energies, Turkey is still heavily dependent on the import of fossil fuels for its energy supply. The aim of this project is to utilize Turkey's wind potential to meet the increasing demand for electricity and, in conjunction with this, to reduce environmental pollution. The project also contributes to maintaining Turkey's energy security.
 
A total of 215 grid-connected onshore wind turbines, with a combined capacity of 172 MW, have been installed for this project. The total net electricity supplied to the Turkish national grid during the last monitoring period in the year 2020 was 395,577 MWh/year.

In Zimbabwe, 32.7% of people in rural areas lack access to an improved water source, starkly contrasting the 97% coverage in urban areas. This issue is compounded by the economic problems faced in the country in recent years, which have contributed to 75% of rural water points being dysfunctional.

The project was implemented in eastern Zimbabwe, in the Manica region. This region is very rural and a lot of water sources are lost, because of poor maintenance and high costs. Through the sale of carbon credits, it is possible to build and rehabilitate existing water pumps.
