Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement sets up a mechanism for countries and companies to generate emission reductions and removals under a central authority. It is a crediting mechanism supervised under the United Nations.

How is Article 6.4 different from Article 6.2?

Article 6.2 is built on direct cooperation between countries, while Article 6.4 works through one central mechanism with common rules and methodologies. Projects under Article 6.4 follow those rules rather than a bilateral agreement.

What do projects need to meet Article 6.4 requirements?

A project needs an approved methodology, host-country approval, clear baselines, and independent validation and verification. It also has to show that the activity is additional.

Can existing carbon projects move to Article 6.4?

Some existing projects may be able to transition, depending on the rules that apply to their type and standard. We check your project against the current Article 6.4 requirements.

How do you help with an Article 6.4 project?

We assess your activity against Article 6.4 rules and methodologies and identify gaps before you apply. That way you enter the Paris Agreement mechanism with a project that fits.

Afforestation, reforestation, and restoration projects, from land check to verified removals

See how we plan tree planting, measure growth, and steward reforestation projects, so growing forests become verified removal credits and lasting income for the families who plant them.

Tree cover as a carbon asset

What it is

Projects that establish or restore tree cover on degraded or non-forested land. As the vegetation grows, it removes CO₂ and brings biodiversity, soil, and water benefits.

Why it matters

Growing new forests is one of the most recognized nature-based removal pathways, and it supports landscape restoration commitments.

Market opportunity

High-quality ARR removal credits are in strong demand, especially when they carry robust biodiversity and community co-benefits.

Business value

Landowners and communities turn restoration into long-term finance, and corporates secure nature-based removals for their climate targets.

Deep experience in restoration, from plantation survival to shared revenue

Horticulture project restoring 502 hectares

issued under Verra, restoring 502 hectares with about 552,200 trees

Up to 95%

plantation survival, backed by plot-level monitoring and replacement planting

40 years of

binding farmer agreements, with no reversal events reported to date

Shared carbon revenue

with participating smallholder families

From land assessment to long-term stewardship, in six stages

See how we measure growth, survival, and carbon stock, and how we protect permanence for decades.

Land and tenure assessment

We confirm eligibility, ownership, and community consent, so you plant on land that qualifies.

Design and validation

We shape the species mix and planting plan, write the project design, and coordinate independent validation, so your project is ready to plant.

Planting and establishment

We support planting, maintenance, and replacement of lost trees, so survival stays high.

Monitoring and MRV

We track growth, survival, and carbon stock with field plots and remote sensing, so every removal rests on measurements.

Verification and issuance

We coordinate verification, so your verified removals issue as credits.

Stewardship and benefit sharing

We support long-term monitoring for permanence and share revenue with participating families, so the forest and the income both last.

The planting model behind your credits

Pick the model closest to your land, and see how we measure its removals.

Agroforestry plantations

Timber and fruit species such as eucalyptus, Melia dubia, and Kadam, planted with smallholders on degraded and underused land. Families share carbon revenue and earn from timber and fruit.

Horticulture orchards

Pomegranate, guava, custard apple, and mahogany on farmer-owned land, developed with farmer groups across three states under a farmer-first ownership model.

Bamboo restoration

Bamboo planted on degraded shrubland, which removes carbon and gives families income from bamboo harvests.

Community forest plantations

Mixed-species plantations of mango, guava, apple, custard apple, and more across four states, planted with local communities.

Straight answers on afforestation and reforestation credits

Start with the questions we hear most before a project begins, then bring us the details of yours.

What is an ARR project?

ARR stands for afforestation, reforestation, and restoration. It establishes, restores, or improves forest and tree-based ecosystems.

What is afforestation?

Afforestation establishes trees or forests on land that has not recently been forested, depending on the applicable definition.

What is reforestation?

Reforestation restores forest cover on land that was forested before but lost its cover.

What is ecosystem restoration?

Restoration aims to recover ecological functions, biodiversity, and ecosystem services in degraded landscapes.

How do ARR projects remove carbon?

Trees and other vegetation absorb CO2 from the air through photosynthesis and store the carbon in biomass and soils.

Can ARR projects earn carbon credits?

Yes. Eligible ARR projects earn removal credits for increases in carbon stocks that we measure and an independent body verifies.

What decides an ARR project's carbon potential?

Species, planting density, growth rates, climate, soil, survival rates, management practices, and project duration all shape the outcome.

What benefits do ARR projects bring beyond carbon?

They support biodiversity, soil health, watershed protection, livelihoods, and landscape resilience.

How do you monitor an ARR project?

We use field measurements, sampling, remote sensing, GIS, survival assessments, and biomass estimation.

Why does long-term management matter for ARR?

Long-term management keeps trees alive, protects carbon stocks and ecological benefits, and secures the project's intended outcomes.
