5. Introduction to ClimateCare
ClimateCare was sold to J.P. Morgan in 2008 and operated as part of the bank’s Environmental Markets division until
August 2011 when it was taken independent in an MBO.
Beyond ‘voluntary carbon’ - ClimateCare is developing and implementing innovative Climate and Development Finance
models to deliver projects that both reduce emissions and deliver against MDGs – providing new and additional
revenues to those who need it most in tackling the effects of climate change.
We believe that this is an exciting time for mobilising public and private investment to tackle pressing social,
climate and poverty issues. We have developed a number of models which make investment attractive to
private sector market entrants and, with over 14 years’ experience developing projects on the ground in the
LDCs, we are uniquely placed to mitigate the risk in project selection and implementation.
The business continues to follow the same stringent project procurement and risk management processes developed
whilst at J.P. Morgan together with the same robust project procedures we always have..
Our projects sit on the developing nexus between private sector finance and the development/aid sector and
we believe that they represent an opportunity to achieve both Climate and Development (MDG)
goals/outcomes at scale, whilst returning profits commensurate with normal private sector returns.
We have developed a number of models which make investment attractive to private sector market entrants with the
bulk of the upfront finance being delivered by Public or Third Sector finance (Devpt Banks, Multilateral Donors,
Foundations) on a revolving fund basis.
Our 12 years experience of delivering projects on the ground in LDCs has given us ‘best in class’ project selection,
efficiency and risk mitigation capabilities, which together with a proprietary Delivery Risk Mechanism for assessing
project viability means that we can deploy investment funds rapidly and efficiently to achieve the twin aims of social
development and ‘profit for purpose’.
6. The story so far…
• We have now funded over 11 million tonnes of emissions
reductions through our projects .
• Our stoves programme has distributed 1.6million stoves in developing
countries , easing pressure on deforestation, reducing indoor air pollution
and improving the health and economic circumstances of over 7.5 million
people – particularly women and children – helping tackle what is now the Developing World’s
largest killer – killing more people each year than Malaria.
• Our new programme financing Clean Water has so far provided 4 million
people with a free and sustainable way to access clean water.
• With our customers, we continue to develop and fund c 4million tonnes of Emission
Reductions each year and are now at the forefront of moving the carbon market to the next
stage - developing and implementing new financial structures :such as Revolving funds
and Social Impact Bonds etc…whilst funding substantial new communications around the
way that carbon finance can be used to achieve both environment and MDG goals
7. How did we deliver those results?
Through Carbon Offsetting.
Offset Inclusive Carbon Management
When we conduct business we use energy and are responsible for carbon emissions being released into the atmosphere
Carbon Offsets:
are a reduction of carbon emissions on your behalf through funding of a project, most often in the developing world, which
reduces carbon emissions by an equivalent amount to those released by your business activity
are a way to make verified emissions reductions at the lowest cost
Provide REAL reductions for your activities/ those of your products
• Measure emissions activities and buy equivalent tonnes of offsets
• Fund emissions reduction projects with the money
OVERVIEW OF J.P. MORGAN CLIMATECARE AND CLIMATE CHANGE
• Verify the project reductions to check they match the emissions from the activity

Carbon reduction virtuous cycle –
Defra 2008
Why Offset? In Support of Offsetting
“Reduce” and “Avoid” activities generally leave remaining emissions
Offsets can get your business to zero carbon quickly…they are the only “it makes sense to get the biggest bang for your bucks, to
way to deal with your unavoidable emissions. identify the most cost-effective emissions reduction options
around the world…The atmosphere doesn't care where you
Offsets buy the environment time for your business to become low reduce emissions as long as you reduce emissions.”
carbon - the environment & humanity need reductions to happen now - Yvo De Boer, United Nations Climate Chief
Offsetting makes real reductions - making high volume of reductions
quickly
It is cost effective – by making a high number of reductions per £ spent

8. Addressing ‘remaining emissions’
Example best practice emissions reduction strategy – 50% ABSOLUTE reduction by 2015
CARBON OFFSETTING IN THE CONTEXT OF AN OVERALL CARBON REDUCTION STRATEGY
Tonnes Businesses are responsible for approx. 60% of total annual
100% global CO2 emissions and will therefore need to contribute
to the reductions necessary to avoid a catastrophic rise of
80% temperatures.

commitments to reduce their impact

10. So now what…
Given that the Voluntary Carbon Market is doing a great job – but is just too small to make the impact needed…
How do you make Compliance Carbon Markets work for the poor?
You can use a blunt instrument – like restricting supply to LDCs
Or you use a more refined financial instrument that recognises that Pro-Poor projects have two outputs - and by
placing a tangible, separate value on things other than carbon – and delivering that value for less than it currently
costs…– results only - basis.
Increases the risk weighted return for investors
Allows us to access the scale that Compliance Carbon Markets bring – whilst delivering the Sustainable Development
benefits that have been so highly prized in the Voluntary Carbon Market.
Other benefits…
Delivers on the age old problem of having public finance ‘leverage’ private finance
Highly Extendable to NAMAs and other Climate Finance elements (Green Climate Funds etc…) as the payments are project based and ‘on
delivery’ only.
Delivers access to the carbon markets for existing NGOs
11. ClimateCare Projects - Linking to
Millennium Development Goals
Every one of ClimateCare’s energy related development projects has a positive impact on the host country and
community. As can be seen from the table below, all reduce poverty by creating jobs and providing additional
energy and reduce reliance on fossil fuels, however ClimateCare’s more community focused projects also meet
other goals.

15. Sub Saharan Africa – Water Filters
Technology: Energy Efficiency
Standard: GS VER applicant
Vintage period: 20011 - 2018
Location: Sub Saharan Africa
Project background
In Africa more than 60% of the population are exposed to disease-bearing drinking water
For the majority of people, the only option is to boil water to kill bacteria
This is often ineffective (as water is not boiled for long enough) and places increased
pressure on the wood resource. In turn increasing GHG emissions and deforestation
Project Activity
Water filter remove the need to boil water, improve quality and avoid GHG emissions
Link to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
MDG Impacts
1 Reduces illness and mortalty – thereby inreasing working days and income
2 Safe drinking water prevents children from becoming ill so they can attend school
3 Saves time for women and girls, improving school attendance and self esteem
4 Reduces infant mortality and morbidity from diarrhoea
5 Clean water and reduced illness positively impacts maternal health
6 Healthier lives for the immunocompromised and reduced mortality
8 Provides access to developed world markets and expertise
16. India – Treadle Water Pumps
Technology: Human Power
Standard: Verified Carbon Standard (VCS)
Vintage period: 2005 - 2010
Location: India
Project background
Diesel powered pumps are used to irrigate small-holdings across India. However, the
pumps are expensive and are usually hired for short periods, meaning that the fields have
to be flooded, wasting water and washing top soil away.
Project Activity
Treadle Pumps are an alternative low-cost method of irrigation which use human power to
lift the water with a ‘stepping’ action. The pumps replace diesel driven pumps, saving CO 2,
improving agricultural yields and empowering the rural poor.
Link to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
MDG Impacts
1 Increases disposable income, creates jobs, improves crop yields
2 Fathers are more present in the family relieving the pressure on children
3 Increased income helps girls education
7 Less topsoil is washed away and emissions are reduced
8 Provides access to developed world markets and expertise
17. Uganda - Efficient Cook Stoves
Technology: Energy Efficiency
Standard: GS VER
Vintage period: 2009 - 2014
Location: Uganda
Project background
Uganda has one of the highest deforestation rates in Africa
More than 95% of Ugandans rely on fuel-wood for cooking
In rural areas wood predominates, whilst in urban areas charcoal is used
Project Activity
The project replaces rudimentary stoves or open fires with an efficient stove, known as the
Ugastove, that reduces charcoal consumption by 25% in turn reducing GHG emissions and
easing pressure on Uganda’s non-managed forests
Link to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
