For a renaturation project to be certified, it must meet a set of requirements. Each certification system has specific objectives, results and requirements. Under the Low Carbon Label, for example, the level of soil sealing and the quantity of carbon stored are major criteria. You can test your project's eligibility for theLabel Bas Carbonein just a few clicks, using our macro calculator.

Today, measuring carbon sequestration can be done in 2 ways:

→ Commission a laboratory to take soil samples.

→ Use reference systems associating carbon stocks with land-use patterns.

At Netcarbon, we have developed a tool that measures carbon stock and capture on an annual basis, using satellite data. This provides an annual update of carbon stocks at the intermunicipal level, but also for each commune.

An Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a phenomenon where urban areas are significantly warmer than the surrounding rural areas. This is due to the density of buildings, heat-retaining building materials, lack of vegetation and heat-generating human activities. UHIs can lead to public health problems, increased energy consumption, degraded air quality and negative environmental impacts.

There are several methods to combat heat islands and high temperatures:
- Increasing green spaces: Planting trees and creating parks can help lower temperatures through shade and evapotranspiration.
- Green roofs and walls: Installing green roofs and walls helps insulate buildings and reduce heat.
- Reflective materials: Using reflective building materials for roofs and roads can reduce heat absorption.
- Improved urban planning: Integrate urban cooling strategies into city design to minimize the effects of UHIs.
