What is 360Carbon and Carbontracer?
360Carbon helps make your positive impact visible, reduces vegetation risk, and boosts resilience against future climate impacts. Carbontracer© is the go-to platform for planning, recording, monitoring, and managing forests or agroforestry projects. It combines field data with a vast library of remote sensing data—saving tons of manual work, cutting down vegetation risks, and strengthening forests against climate change effects. In short, it’s a digital solution that connects companies with scientifically based agroforestry and forestry projects, making data on growth and health status accessible anytime to enhance climate resilience and transparency.
Main Benefits of Using the Platform
Here’s what makes 360Carbon and Carbontracer stand out:
- Real-time tracking of green spaces, trees, forests, and agroforestry projects through a monitoring, reporting, and verification platform (dMRV).
- Forestry Management Tool supports farmers, cities, and forest owners with maintenance and vegetation risk alerts via a mobile app.
- EO-based data modules track health, growth, and biodiversity to strengthen climate resilience and biodiversity.
- Integrated planning tools and area analyses simplify forest planning, reducing labor costs and improving deployment efficiency.
- Compliance and traceability features verify forests for environmental standards in seconds, ensuring full supply chain transparency.
- Highest security standards with ESRI encryption and authentication to keep data safe and accessible only to authorized users.
Forestry Management Made Easy
The Forestry Management Tool is designed to support farmers, cities, communities, and forest owners with ongoing maintenance and vegetation risk notifications. By avoiding data silos and boosting efficiency, users save valuable time and resources. The platform’s synchronized task tool helps optimize team coordination, reducing costs and resource use. Plus, care manuals can be stored easily for quick reference, making forest and green space management a breeze.
Forest and Ecosystem Monitoring
This digital platform combines Earth Observation (EO) data with field data to provide precise, scientifically validated insights for planning, monitoring, and evaluating forests. Continuous recording of forest health, growth, and biodiversity helps strengthen the climate resilience of green spaces and ecosystems. Early detection of stress, diseases, and drought is possible thanks to satellite and ground data integration, giving forest projects a major advantage.
Prediction and Risk Mitigation
Carbontracer’s integrated data modules allow for continuous tracking of forest and ecosystem health, growth, and biodiversity. This ongoing monitoring supports climate resilience by enabling early interventions and informed decision-making. Yield forecasts for agroforestry projects use vegetation indices and weather data to optimize planning and ensure reliable deliveries. Real-time detection of land use changes and deforestation helps comply with legal requirements and protect ecosystems effectively.
Project Impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- SDG 13: Climate Action – Strengthening resilience against climate impacts.
- SDG 15: Life on Land – Protecting forests and biodiversity.
- SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – Ensuring supply chain transparency and compliance.
- SDG 2: Zero Hunger – Supporting agroforestry projects that improve yields and sustainability.
- SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals – Connecting farmers, forest owners, and end-users through shared data platforms.
Why 360Carbon Stands Out
What makes 360Carbon unique? It’s all about turning complex environmental data into meaningful, actionable insights that support sustainability goals and agroforestry projects. The platform offers access to diverse, scientifically validated nature and climate data from globally recognized providers. Measurement and verification follow science-based guidelines and international certification standards, ensuring trust and reliability. Plus, the partnership model opens up EO infrastructure access to the Global South without the need for programming skills or costly data collection tools. Based in Zurich, 360Carbon thrives on a network of innovation, science, and hands-on thinking, collaborating with local forestry companies and data specialists to deliver precise support for forest and ecosystem management.
