About us
Together we have the blue print for a peaceful and prosperous planet, for now and for future generations. Foundational to this are the Sustainable Development Goals.
SDG 14 and 15 is how our organisation, Initiative 1415, got its name. These goals build on decades of work by countries and the United Nations, and we all need to take responsibility for their speedy and successful implementation.

Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development

Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
To deliver high quality products we use the full regulatory landscape in our design
Through high level principles, in alignment with global regulatory frameworks, standards, and best available science,1415 involve projects that go above and beyond on a number of sustainability criteria, and that can function on several markets.
Clear additionality, baseline starting point, durability and leakage are all addressed through rigorous monitoring protocols and scientifically established calculations, including third party verification.
The standards involved are established by governmental authorities, who play an active role not only in their design-phase but also participate in ultimate control of monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV).
Coupled with robust quantification of carbon removals, and allowing for a margin concerning leakage, as well as the use of a buffer-pool, the system as a whole gains a transparent and resilient foundation.
1415 lays the groundwork for a speedier and more sustainable path through the global transition, navigating through utilising the regulatory and financial frameworks as a map and compass to efficiently drive private finance into where it is very much needed.
