  • Carbon/Climate neutrality

BoCaM innovativeness lies in the development of mitigation projects offering reliable carbon credits to private buyers; a carbon credit market which increases the financial sustainability of public policies and the environmental consciousness of all society stakeholders.

​The city of Bologna has suffered the impact of climate change in recent years: local newspapers record every year more and more incidents and damages caused by heavy rains, landslides, floods and heat waves.
‎

The frequency and increasing intensity of these phenomena have convinced the city administrators that it was necessary to initiate a serious and systematic policy of prevention to "adapt" our habitat to a climate that has changed and that is expected, in the coming years, to evolve further.
‎

With our Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP) the city has taken, together with its local partners, the European commitment to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions by 20% by 2020.
‎

BoCaM aims to put in place a market where public administrations can "upload" the carbon credits generated by their projects and policies, certified by a third party, and private companies can buy such credits to neutralise their CO 2 emissions
