ANALYSIS OF THE POTENTIAL OF CARBON PROJECTS IMPLEMENTED IN GREEN AREAS

The article examines national and international approaches to the classification of climate projects. The position of climate projects implemented within the framework of green spaces is determined in accordance with the classifications under consideration. A variant of an integrative classification of climate projects combining national and international approaches is proposed. The necessity of distinguishing projects implemented in green spaces, regarded as artificial ecosystems, as a separate category is substantiated. The key advantages of nature-based climate projects based on artificial ecosystems are highlighted, including the simplicity of baseline determination, transparency of monitoring, and the potential for implementation in urban environments. At the same time, the key disadvantages of this type of climate project are also considered, including limited available area, high implementation costs, and vulnerability to anthropogenic factors. The author emphasizes the importance of improving regulatory frameworks and developing new methodologies to enhance the efficiency of climate projects implemented within artificial ecosystems. It is noted that climate projects based on artificial ecosystems possess significant potential for reducing carbon footprints, improving urban infrastructure, and enhancing the quality of life for the population, making them a crucial tool in sustainable development strategies and achieving carbon neutrality.
