The REDD+ PAZcífico Sur project is an initiative developed in eighteen community councils in the department of Nariño, with the support of Fundación Agroimpulso and CO2CERO SAS, whose objective is the reduction of emissions due to deforestation and forest degradation in 371,748 hectares during a period of twenty years, through conservation, improvement and increase activities in carbon reservoirs.
PAZcífico Sur's overarching objectives are to:
1. Evaluate the emissions avoided by community councils through their conservation, restoration and sustainable management actions.
2. Identify and implement conservation activities that mitigate and prevent the growth of de-risking factors for deforestation.
3. Guarantee compliance with the regulatory and socio-environmental framework related to the project for twenty years.
4. Generate a transparent and equitable distribution of benefits according to the resources obtained from the commercialization of avoided GHG emissions within the project.
5. Guarantee free, prior and informed consent, and the participation of all actors involved in the GHG mitigation initiative, consolidating a continuous flow of information between the parties.
Emission ImpactHigh-integrity carbon credits are those that are robustly and conservatively quantified. We provide intuitive data visualizations that quantify and assess the carbon stocks of projects throughout their lifetime. These data sources are frequently consolidated between technical documentation from project developers, verification reports from auditors as well as transparent and objective remote sensing data.
Carbon projects are additional if they would not have occurred in the absence of carbon credit generation. On the flip side, projects are not additional if the carbon avoidance or removal would have occurred in the status-quo "business as usual" scenario. We provide data to assess the additionality resilience of projects by harnessing geospatial analyses and remote sensing capabilities, among other data sources.
Permanence refers to how long the carbon dioxide removed or avoided will be kept out of the atmosphere. Permanence risk is when storage reversal occurs before the planned duration of storage is up. We monitor the project area for unforeseen disruptions and identify permanence risks by modelling the threat of, for example, adverse weather conditions. Additional information on risk mitigation levers may be included.

The activities designed for the PAZcífico Sur REDD+ Project contribute to the achievement of some sustainable development objectives, guaranteeing the quality and permanence of the population, which are complementary to the social, environmental and economic co-benefits created. In accordance with the Land Use Sector of the project, contributions are generated that contribute to the fulfillment of 6 of the 15 objectives agreed upon by the UN.
