More Responsibility. Fewer Emissions.
The goal of Klima-Kollekte is to actively reduce and avoid global greenhouse gas emissions while improving local living conditions. We recognize the responsibility of the Global North, which has historically contributed the most to climate change, and we take action to combat climate change and manage its consequences fairly. That's why we support climate justice with our KlimaPlus contribution.
With the KlimaPlus contribution,
everyone can contribute to reducing global emissions and creating a more sustainable future for all. The less CO2 released into the atmosphere, the less severe the impact on the global climate. Calculate your own emissions easily with our CO2 calculator and make your financial contribution to the long-term projects of our partner organizations in the Global South with the KlimaPlus contribution. We are also happy to assist you personally in creating a greenhouse gas balance. Simply use our contact form for support.
Our projects focus on verifiable greenhouse gas reductions and additional contributions to the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is achieved through context-appropriate solutions and innovations, such as efficient cookstoves that use 60 percent less firewood or biogas plants that provide clean energy to communities. For the local people, especially women and children, this means less smoke at the cooking sites, cleaner air, and reduced health risks. The reduced wood consumption and increased cooking efficiency give families more time for other activities. Additionally, jobs are created, and people earn stable incomes. The climate and development impacts are measurable and transparently traceable, as the projects are certified by the strictest standards of the Gold Standard for the Global Goals.
Use our calculator to generate your carbon emissions and offset them with us.
