The Climate, Community & Biodiversity Alliance (CCBA) is a partnership of five international non-governmental organizations: Conservation International, CARE, Rainforest Alliance, The Nature Conservancy and Wildlife Conservation Society (see http://www.climate-standards.org/). The CCBA’s mission is to stimulate and promote land management activities that credibly mitigate global climate change, improve the wellbeing and reduce the poverty of local communities, and conserve biodiversity. The CCBA has two initiatives: The Climate, Community & Biodiversity (CCB) Standards were launched in 2005 to foster development of, and investment in, site-based projects that deliver credible and significant climate, community and biodiversity benefits in an integrated, sustainable manner. The REDD+ Social & Environmental Standards (REDD+ SES) were launched in 2010 to build support for government-led REDD+ programs that make a significant contribution to human rights, poverty alleviation and biodiversity conservation. The development of REDD+ SES was jointly facilitated by CARE and CCBA. Both the CCB Standards and the REDD+ SES focus not just on ensuring ‘no harm’ but also aim to enhance multiple benefits.
