Climate protection projects have a particularly strong impact when they are locally anchored. myclimate relies on a community-based approach: projects are both planned and implemented together with the local population – for long-term impact, social acceptance and genuine participation.
Community-based projects actively involve local communities from the outset in planning, implementation, profit sharing and long-term management. This shared responsibility means that people identify with the project, and strengthens their willingness to implement climate protection measures in the long term.
myclimate maintains long-standing partnerships with local stakeholders. These close relationships make it possible to develop projects together with the local population and adapt them to local needs, resources and cultural conditions. This results in solutions that are not only ecologically effective, but also socially acceptable and economically viable.
Community-based projects enable knowledge to be built up locally, promote knowledge transfer and strengthen social structures such as cooperatives or women’s groups. They are more resilient and financially sustainable and can serve as models for other regions. This enables climate protection to take effect, embedded in personal responsibility and acceptance.
Long-term impact through local roots
Municipalities and smallholder families are the project owners and the main actors in the planning and implementation of the projects. This promotes identification with the project, acceptance and long-term commitment beyond its duration.
Climate protection with social and economic added value
Community projects combine environmental goals with income prospects, education and the strengthening of local structures.
Scalable and transferable
Successful projects can be transferred to other regions and adapted – with the local population as an active partner.
