Profil

The non-profit organization Urban Tree Offset Initiative, z.s. was founded in 2023 to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The NGO runs a carbon offseting program based on nature-based solution, that works primarily with trees in settlements already growing there.

A pilot project has been carried out on eight urban trees in Brno and will be presented for the first time at URBIS The Smart Cities Meetup. Visit booth #6 and find out how you can turn the trees in your city into a financial asset and sequester additional carbon from the atmosphere.

VISION:
Every tree, especially those in urban areas, serves to maximize climate change mitigation and adaptation. This means that the tree becomes an asset, not a liability.

MISSION:
- Maximize the ecosystem services of carefully selected trees while maintaining their safety.
- Implement measures that can achieve these goals.
- Optimize these measures to make the most efficient use of resources and leave the lowest carbon footprint.
- Find the financial resources to implement such measures.
- Initiate and conduct research on measures that lead to the maximization of tree ecosystem services.
- Initiate the implementation of urban forestry innovations into practice.

The organization owns a license to future rights arising from patent protection under the invention application Method of reducing the CO2 content of the atmosphere by additional carbon storage in existing trees through appropriate tree selection and optimization of support measures (CZ202386A3).

Climate Change Adaptation Measures

It's a scientific fact that large, quickly growing trees provide significantly more benefits than their smaller or slower-growing counterparts. This is particularly true for their cooling effect and carbon sequestration. The Urban Tree Offset Initiative plays a pivotal role in supporting the production of tree ecosystem services. Through education and a unique carbon offset program focused on urban trees, we ensure the continuation of these services. The sale of carbon offsets in the voluntary market provides the necessary funding for measures, all aimed at preserving the tree, promoting its growth and operational safety, and maximizing its production of ecosystem services.

The Urban Tree Offset Initiative is a vehicle for maximizing the production of tree ecosystem services in settlements.

We believe that we can demonstrate the power and importance of mature trees and raise significant funds for green space managers in towns. These funds can then be channeled towards advanced tree care, further bolstering the cause.
