Who is GEC Communities?
PREVENTING CLIMATE CHANGE WHILE DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES AND CULTURES THROUGH RAIN FOREST PRESERVATION
Our mission is to reduce the worlds carbon footprint by preserving the rain forest while improving the quality of life of the indigenous population of the country the rain forest is in. This will be achieved by monetizing the "REDD" (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) carbon credits generated from protecting the rain forest.
We initiated this process by contracting with the government of a large African country to protect over 33 million acres of rain forest from logging related clear cutting thus generating a large pool of carbon credits. The money generated from the monetization of these carbon credits will replace the income the country received in the past from logging companies. The funds will not be made available for general use of the treasury of the country, rather, the company will work together with the government of the country identify social programs to deploy the money on such as: the construction of housing, schools, clinics, water and waste water treatment systems and the implementation of sustainable food sources . A key component to this entire process will be job creation for the people living in and near the rain forest so they will not rely on the destruction of the rain forest for a living. The company is currently in discussion with other countries that have large tracts of rain forest to expand this model.
What is R.E.D.D.?
Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD+) was first negotiated under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2005, with the objective of mitigating climate change through reducing net emissions of greenhouse gases through enhanced forest management in developing countries. Most of the key REDD+ decisions were completed by 2013, with the final pieces of the rulebook finished in 2015.
