Tree Credits is concept of community based (agro)forestry whereby the tree planter/ caretaker is rewarded during several years for her/his climate services. The system has been developed in response to the need for a simple way to get Carbon Credits to the individual planter with a minimum of overheads. And to simplify the implementation and monitoring of such projects by using for-profit methods, much like how microfinance operates. Problem setting: Lord Nicholas Stern: “The two defining challenges of our century are climate change and poverty. And if we fail on one, we will fail on the other”. 2009 Solution indication: Ban Ki Moon, UN Secretary General: “Like in Microfinance, women can be agents of climate change too.” December 2, 2009
