This partnership will allow projects verified with Equitable Earth to report more accurately than was previously possible – including the reporting of carbon emissions from deforestation as well as degradation and removals from carbon stock improvement. The adoption of innovative technology is pivotal in Equitable Earth’s quest to help end deforestation and biodiversity loss in the Global South.
Chloris uses advanced scientific techniques to process new datasets from space-born instruments to measure above-ground biomass to capture carbon stock change with efficiency, transparency and high accuracy. Chloris validates its models against fully independent, high-quality datasets derived from airborne LiDAR and field measurements.
“Partnering with Chloris marks a significant milestone for Equitable Earth as we pursue an innovative new approach to forest carbon standards,” said Beto Borges, Chair of the Equitable Earth Indigenous Peoples & Local Communities Advisory Group.
“Our commitment is to serve the voluntary carbon market holistically, ensuring that our efforts not only meet scientific accuracy and independence but also benefit local communities. Chloris’s dedication to independent, high-quality carbon mapping is crucial for achieving these goals. With Chloris’s cutting-edge carbon stock and change measurement methodologies, we are poised to enhance the credibility and effectiveness of the Equitable Carbon Standard. This collaboration will ultimately benefit the voluntary carbon market and foster trust among all stakeholders.”
“Much like Equitable Earth, Chloris Geospatial is also founded on transparency, robust science and rigorous due diligence,” said Marco Albani, CEO and Co-Founder of Chloris. “Our standardized and independent approach to measuring carbon in vegetation fits perfectly with the mission of Equitable Earth. We look forward to delivering innovative, science-based data and analysis for this new forest carbon standard.”
