Cercarbono, an environmental project certification standard, and Asocarbono Ecuador are pleased to announce their collaboration to promote and strengthen carbon and biodiversity markets in Ecuador. This strategic partnership aims to leverage their shared expertise to drive sustainable, high-integrity initiatives across the region.

Cercarbono is a certification standard for environmental projects that accelerates high-integrity initiatives in carbon, circular economy, and biodiversity. Established in Colombia in 2016, it is recognized as one of the top three voluntary carbon standards worldwide. With over 200 projects registered in more than 15 countries, Cercarbono combines the multicultural experience of its team with in-depth knowledge of vital ecosystems, enabling a solid understanding of the requirements for successful climate initiatives.

Ecuador boasts a robust regulatory framework that promotes environmental conservation and sustainable development. The Environmental Management Law and the Climate Change Law provide clear guidelines for implementing climate mitigation and adaptation projects, facilitating the creation of market mechanisms that encourage investment in carbon and biodiversity projects. This legislation aligns with global emission reduction and sustainability goals.

“We are excited about the opportunity to collaborate with Asocarbono Ecuador. Together, we can drive initiatives that contribute to global sustainability goals and promote more balanced development in the region,” said Alex Saer, CEO of Cercarbono. “We firmly believe in the importance of working together to create a real and lasting impact on the environment.”

Marcelo Salame, President of Asocarbono Ecuador, also emphasized the significance of the collaboration: “Joining forces with Cercarbono will strengthen our efforts in the country and enhance the development of projects that generate positive impacts on our environment and communities. Together, we can build a more sustainable future for Ecuador.”

Both organizations are committed to collaborating on various activities, events, and projects to advance the development of carbon and biodiversity markets in Ecuador. This partnership marks a significant step toward achieving sustainable development goals and creating a more resilient future.
