Nature-based Solutions & Community Development
Overview
Nature-based solutions (NbS) are increasingly taking center stage in the global challenge of reducing emissions.
At Kosher, we have a global team of experts in forestry, agriculture, and clean cooking who specialize in implementing nature-based solutions (NbS). Our projects are designed to uphold high integrity while benefitting communities, farmers, and other local stakeholders. Our goal is to help our clients achieve their carbon targets while maximizing the positive impact of large-scale grassroots projects for community development.
These are large-scale grassroots-level projects that mitigate climate change while improving local livelihood opportunities and wages in low-income communities.
How can we help?
Soil Carbon
Locking in organic carbon in soils have dual benefits of productivity and it is also natural pool of carbon to sustainably lock in. While simple, effectively and accurately measuring soil carbon is not straightforward. This is exactly what we offer – we have some of the best experts and technology to apply across scales and periods.
Blue Carbon
Mangroves are treasures of ecosystem services as well as carbon. While the worlds mangroves urgently need revival and restoration, we bundle the vision of the future and strive towards restoring and planting mangroves across India and the Tropics in general.
Afforestation &
Reforestation
Trees and forests form the most reliable and sure shot carbon capture mechanisms on the planet. We involve with organizations, governments and companies to build the forests for the future that resonate the global aspirations of continued ecosystem functioning. Spanning the scale, we believe that projects, both small and large needs to be supported.
Climate, Community & Biodiversity
We are developing land management projects that simultaneously address climate change challenges, support local communities and smallholders, as well as conserve biodiversity. We design projects that span the life of these long-term (from years to decades) projects that include lake remediation to restoration of wetlands. Mitigate risk for investors and offset buyers and increase funding opportunities for project developers.
