Tero Carbon Launches Public Consultation on Land Tenure Compliance Seals for NBS Projects
Tero Carbon announces the launch of the Public Consultation for the Land Tenure Compliance Seals for NBS Projects, a new mechanism within the Tero Certification Program aimed at strengthening land security for Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) projects. The consultation is open starting today and will remain available for 30 days, until March 11, 2025.
Land tenure regularity is one of the central challenges for the integrity of environmental assets and investor confidence in the carbon market. To address this reality, Tero Carbon has developed a seal system that classifies projects based on their consistency and land tenure compliance over time.
The seals follow three progressive levels.
- Bronze Seal: Awarded to projects that prove, after one year, their documentary and territorial land tenure regularity.
- Silver Seal: Assigned to projects that maintain three consecutive years of compliance, with no identified irregularities.
- Gold Seal: The highest level of recognition, granted to projects with five uninterrupted years of compliance, combined with excellence in territorial and environmental management.
