YVY CarbonES

Forest carbon projects in Bolivia.

We develop forest carbon projects with territorial organisations in Bolivia, from assessing the territory to reaching the market.

Operating model

What YVY does

We assess territories, coordinate project development and seek buyers.

01

Territory assessment

We review rights, forest cover and local conditions with the territory’s organisations.

02

Project development

We coordinate the legal, technical and financial work needed for validation and registration.

03

Market access

We connect eligible projects with potential international buyers.

Credit issuance depends on passing each stage’s assessments; it is not guaranteed.

Project types

Types of projects

We assess conservation, restoration and forest management options according to each territory’s conditions.

The methodology is selected for each project.

Bolivia’s ecoregions

Each region requires its own assessment of forests, water and land use.

We study where forest carbon projects are viable.

Photography credits

These ecoregions illustrate areas for assessment; they do not represent active projects or available credits. Each initiative requires authorisation and confirmation of eligibility.

Our process

How a project is developed

Development has eight stages. The results of each determine whether the project continues, is adjusted or stops.

Identification and assessment

Is there an opportunity worth advancing?

Preliminary review of tenure, representation, land cover, territorial pressures and methodological feasibility.

Expected deliverable

Assessment scope and feasibility note, identifying findings, gaps and a recommendation to proceed, revise or stop.

Progress subject to review

Timelines and documents are defined for each project. This sequence describes the process, not the progress of a particular initiative.

Bolivian regulatory context

Legal review

We review territorial rights, representation and authorisations under the applicable regulations.

Each project requires legal review before commitments are made.

Our commitments

How we work

We publish supported information and respect the organisations’ decisions.

  • Tonnes supported by technical evidence.
  • Verifiable certifications.
  • Territories identified only with authorisation.
  • Revenue assessed against costs, conditions and buyers.

These criteria apply from the initial assessment.

For buyers

Due diligence criteria

What to review before buying carbon credits.

Territory and consent

Who makes decisions about the territory?

Clarity on territorial rights and the representation of participants. Documented consent and governance agreements.

Technical evidence

How are results demonstrated?

Recognised methodologies, where applicable to the project. Independent verification and long-term monitoring of results.

Economic distribution

How is revenue shared?

Traceability of project revenue, costs and payments. Clear information on benefit-sharing agreements.

Long-term risks

How is credit integrity protected?

Controls to prevent the same result from being counted twice. Assessment of carbon permanence and the risk of its release back into the atmosphere.

The standard is selected for each project. Its mention does not establish certification or partnership.
