Following our recent email about Global ITMO, we’ve had quite a few questions about ITMOs themselves. So we thought it would be useful to get everyone together for a short online session and explain, as simply as possible, what ITMOs are, how they work and where private investors fit into the picture. We’ll also give…

Global ITMO is focused on identifying and developing projects that combine agricultural development, environmental technology transfer and measurable emissions reductions — with the potential for qualifying reductions to be authorised for international transfer under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. 🌱 THE AGRICULTURAL OPPORTUNITY Much of Ghanaian agriculture remains dependent on the wet season, meaning…

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been explaining ITMOs, Article 6 and how the market works.But we haven’t really explained what we’re doing ourselves. Global ITMO was created to develop projects in Ghana that combine agricultural development, environmental technology transfer and emissions reduction. We’re working with partners on the ground in Ghana, with circa 90,000…

We’ve explained why a country might want an ITMO. But there’s still a fairly obvious question: where does the money actually come from? The short answer is: an international buyer pays for the authorised mitigation outcome created by the project. But how does that actually work?It starts with a real project.The project creates a measurable…

Two projects can both reduce emissions, but that doesn’t mean the ITMOs associated with them will have the same value.   The project may be different. The country may be different. The cost of achieving the emissions reduction may be different. And buyers may be looking for different things. There isn’t a single formula that…

  An emissions reduction has value. But value and price are not the same thing. It starts with a project (perhaps a renewable energy project, improved agricultural practices or reforestation) that is designed to reduce or remove emissions. But simply reducing emissions doesn’t make something an ITMO. The emissions reduction needs to go through the…

An ITMO isn’t a project. Every ITMO starts with a project that reduces or removes emissions. That could be a renewable energy project, improved agricultural practices, reforestation, or another activity that creates a real, measurable reduction in emissions. Once those emissions reductions have been measured, verified and authorised under the rules of the Paris Agreement,…

There is no shortage of information about ITMOs and Article 6.The challenge is that much of it is written for people who already work in climate policy and carbon markets. This page isn’t here to impress you with technical language.It’s here to explain what it actually means. On this page, we’ll be sharing clear explanations…
