Northzone's climate compensation

Maximizing long-term co2 removal
Driving impact
At Northzone we believe that our role and responsibility in the climate challenge goes far beyond "neutrality". We always look for disruptors truly changing how things are done and we should do so also when we compensate for our own carbon emissions. We have chosen to apply an internal carbon fee (100USD/tonne for Scope 1 & 2, 10 USD/tonne for Scope 3) and annually support the Milkywire Climate transformation fund with this donation. We do so because we believe that our carbon compensation should be linked to creating maximum climate impact. Further, we believe that collaboration and innovation are key to solving the climate crisis. This setting allows us to support and track the results of catalytic research in new reduction and removal techniques and to engage in collaboration across the tech & impact ecosystems.

New Energy Nexus
Indonesia
New Energy Nexus (NEX) is a global non-profit organisation dedicated to innovation and adoption of clean energy technologies. We are supporting NEX in Indonesia to establish a policy and regulatory framework for the growth of clean energy technology startups. NEX has a good global track record as well as strong results from supporting clean energy startups in Indonesia.
Nature protection and restoration
Landesa
Indonesia
Mangroves are important carbon sinks and among the most degraded ecosystems with high restoration potential. Landesa, a global development organisation, strives to secure land rights for marginalised populations, recognising their significance for poverty reduction, environmental sustainability, and peace. CTF funds Landesa’s project that aims to protect and restore mangrove forests and engages in policy dialogues on promoting legal rights of small-holder forest owners in the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia. This project focuses on securing forest tenure, sustainable land management, reforestation, and conservation. Landesa uses a regional and collaborative approach within six countries (Bangladesh, Cambodia, India (West Bengal), Indonesia, Myanmar, and Thailand) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to advance sustainable mangrove management, blending on-the-ground restoration and conservation efforts with advocacy for secure tenure rights.
