Project sponsors
Forestry concessionaires, industrial operators, agricultural cooperatives. Framing, methodology selection, eligibility trajectory, BNES governance (Biodiversity, Nature, Environment, Social) and ICVCM CCP alignment.
Carbon & Climate Markets Pole
Climate strategic advisory, auditable by design
We advise project sponsors, investors and public administrations on voluntary carbon markets (Verra VCS, Gold Standard) and compliance carbon markets (Article 6 of the Paris Agreement), within a formalised framework of editorial independence.
Positioning
The Carbon & Climate Markets Pole of DOUZEROCINQ CONSEILS acts as a strategic advisor — never as a project sponsor nor as a verifier. This separation is structuring: the trust of institutional donors and standard‑setters relies on the documented independence of the advisor from the operator.
Three client families
Investors & off‑takers
Critical project review, credit integrity scoring, supplier due‑diligence, P&L modelling with sensitivities on carbon price and reduction rates.
Administrations & donors
Jurisdictional programme design, REDD+ institutional frameworks, Article 6 interface, Technical Assistance engagements.
Methodologies covered
- Verra VCS — VM0048 (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation). Supersedes VM0007 since 2023. Mandatory jurisdictional approach.
- ART‑TREES — The REDD+ Environmental Excellence Standard — used by the LEAF Coalition and several jurisdictions (Costa Rica, Ghana, Guyana).
- ICVCM Core Carbon Principles — 10 high‑integrity principles applicable to voluntary market credits.
- Article 6 of the Paris Agreement — mechanisms 6.2 (bilateral cooperation) and 6.4 (centralised mechanism, successor to the CDM).
- Gold Standard, Plan Vivo, Climate Action Reserve — comparative analysis, strengths and limitations.
Editorial independence — DZC‑PROT‑001 protocol
The Manager of DOUZEROCINQ CONSEILS also serves as manager of the KEYSAFE AFRICA group, whose KEYSAFE CARBON vertical (Cameroon, CVEPB N°0451, Lot 10 Yoko/Mbam and Kim, ~2,200 ha) operationally carries a Verra VCS project currently under design. To pre‑empt any conflict of interests:
- Strict separation of roles: strategic advisory is provided exclusively by DOUZEROCINQ CONSEILS; operations are carried exclusively by KEYSAFE CARBON.
- Independent attestor: an OHADA/CCJA firm based in Abidjan holds the original protocol and, on request, attests to its effective application.
- Systematic disclosure in every deliverable, commercial proposal and public document (present banner).
- Right of recusal: the client may at any time request substitution of the Managing Partner; an orderly handover protocol is in place.
