Case study – A carbon financing playbook for impact organisations
Sculpt Partners helped WE4F (Water and Energy for Food) develop a carbon financing guide-book for its cohort of innovators
Challenge
WE4F challenge - a joint international initiative of the European Union (EU) and the development agencies of Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and United States
Provides financial support, technical assistance, and investment facilitation to stimulate innovations in energy and water efficiency in the agricultural sector
Innovators supported by various WE4F regional hubs expressed keen interest in accessing carbon finance opportunities to secure additional funding and reduce cost of services to farmers
However, limited awareness within the hub and across innovators to navigate the Voluntary Carbon Markets
Our approach

Relevance of carbon financing for WE4F innovators
Decarbonisation opportunities in the water-energy-food nexus
Key steps for project developers to register and sell carbon credits
Best practices for project developers while navigating the carbon credit life-cycle
Impact
A step-by-step play-book for agriculture and farming sector players to secure carbon financing
ILLUSTRATIVE DELIVERABLES
