We officially evolved from DGB Group into Green Earth — a new name that reflects our mission to regenerate nature on a global scale! Our evolution goes beyond a rebrand: it is a renewed commitment to deliver measurable environmental and socio-economic outcomes and to make nature restoration investable at scale. Under our brand promise “Engineering Possibilities,” Green Earth delivers measurable outcomes through a fully integrated project-development model. We combine ecological science, data intelligence, and financial expertise to ensure every project meets the highest global standards, generates certified carbon credits, and creates long-term value for all stakeholders. Unlike fragmented approaches in the carbon market, we oversee the entire value chain — from restoring degraded land and engaging local communities to carbon credit issuance and transparent reporting — eliminating greenwashing risks and offering investors credible, verifiable impact at scale. Our ambition is to mobilise €1 billion in nature capital and make nature restoration both accessible and profitable for investors, institutions, and individuals worldwide.

🌱 Climate Bonds vs Green Bonds — What’s the Difference? 🌍💡 In the world of sustainable finance, two terms often get mixed up: Climate Bonds and Green Bonds. While both aim to fund environmentally friendly projects, there are key distinctions: 🔹 Green Bond A fixed-income instrument used to finance projects with environmental benefits — such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, clean transportation, sustainable agriculture, and biodiversity conservation. The scope is broad, covering any project that contributes positively to the environment. 🔹 Climate Bond A specific type of green bond that is aligned with the Climate Bonds Standard and certified by the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI). These bonds focus exclusively on projects that help combat climate change — either by reducing greenhouse gas emissions (mitigation) or improving resilience to climate impacts (adaptation). 💬 Think of it this way: All climate bonds are green bonds, but not all green bonds are climate bonds. 🌎✅ As sustainable finance grows, understanding these differences is crucial for investors, project developers, and policymakers to align capital with global climate goals. #SustainableFinance #GreenBonds #ClimateBonds #ESG #ClimateAction #ImpactInvesting

#Article6 / #CORSIA buy side insights and tips shared in the Sylvera and Climate Action Center of Excellence (CACE) webinar yesterday. 1. Key aspects when considering an Article 6 investment.   Start with the NDC - how clearly defined are the NDC targets? Are the targets conditional or unconditional. Is there a clear sectoral breakdown? Is the country serious about meeting its target and has it had sufficient climate finance?   At a minimum you need to check that your project type isn’t sat in an unconditional NDC, ideally it’s in the conditional NDC and on a whitelist.    Look for an Article 6 Framework, is there a clear understanding of the costs of a Corresponding Adjustment? Who has legal authority to issue a CA? Is there alignment between the framework, regulations, and the NDC? Did the country submit it's last Biannual Transparency Report on time, and does it have the capacity to meet future reporting obligations? Smart investors are in country capacity building as well as investing at a project level. If the project does have an LOA, look for or ask when the Initial Report is being published. The UNFCCC Technical Expert Review team will then identify and publish any inconsistencies on the Centralised Accounting and Reporting Platform (CARP). What do those inconsistencies mean to corporate buyers?    If I was investing, I would look for projects that are CORSIA eligible, that can deliver real reductions or removals within the current NDC cycle, and whose economics will continue to stack up in the absence of a CA beyond 2030.  2. Role for collaboration. The A6 market is in reality, many markets with a CA in common. Most A6 credits only have one use case that needs to be designed for upfront, this fragments the market. Due to different buyer criteria, A6 credits tend to work for only one country or CORSIA, they can't deliver into both. This creates a real headache for project developers and countries. They effectively need to pick a winning horse before it’s born.   To scale, we need a greater fungibility of A6 credits. This requires buyers -countries, corporates or schemes - to align in their criteria.    Country stakeholders could also form consortiums to share the cost of capacity building - and by that I don’t mean workshops, but support with reporting and compliance.  Some countries cant even afford to turn up to the negotiating table at Bonn/COP, so we need to make sure funding isn’t just for projects, but for the host countries to meet all the requirements to issue a robust CA and to deliver conditional NDCs. In an ideal world, if the promised conditional financing doesn’t materialise, a change in the rules to allow market mechanisms to fill the funding gap should be considered.

GHG Accounting isn’t just for the “giants"anymore It has become the secret to long-term sustainability even as a small business. Let me explain why👇🏾 Meet Lardi, founder of a small shea butter cooperative in Navrongo, my hometown. For years, her team exported to Europe, until one day a buyer asked her, “𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘵?” (Don’t know what this means? Don’t worry, I'll explain in my next post). Lardi was shunned! What on earth was that and why did she need it? Thankfully, Lardi is active on LinkedIn. She asked for help and found someone to guide her: 🌿 They measured emissions from production, transport, and packaging. 💡 They also discovered her energy usage could be 3x lower if she changed her outdated machines. ✨ She switched to solar dryers, cutting emissions and saving some cash. 📈 Now? She’s ESG-compliant, secured a grant, and just landed a new export deal. Your small business could be next! Although, many clients & funders are now asking for your company's GHG assessment, it is more than gathering data & being compliant. GHG accounting is smart business & your ticket to resilience against unpredictable climate shocks. So, you just can’t afford to be left behind. Whether you’re a start-up fashion brand or food processor, sustainability isn’t the future. It is right now! Because when you snooze, you lose out big time! If you need help to measure your SME's carbon footprint, send me a dm and let’s talk for FREE! *GHG – GreenHouse Gases #GHGAccounting #SustainabilityMadeSimple #WomenInESG #SMEGrowth #ESGstrategy #SustainabilityAfrica
