Overview

Created in 2018 in the United Kingdom, HAMERKOP is a consulting firm specializing in the voluntary carbon market, climate finance, energy access and nature-based solutions, with the aim of maximising social and environmental impacts. HAMERKOP's vision is a world where international climate finance effectively and directly serves the interests and rights of local communities to clean and resilient development focused on inclusive well-being. HAMERKOP works mainly in developing countries, where it provides technical consulting services around 3 main pillars: 1. PROJECT: certification and implementation of projects contributing to the fight against climate change. We help climate change mitigation projects to be certified so that they can be partially or fully financed by the sale of assets on carbon markets. We also support the implementation of activities and monitor the ongoing impacts generated by these energy access and nature-based solutions projects. 2. MARKET: independent expert advice on carbon markets. We provide strategic advice to buyers of carbon credits on the acquisition of these assets and to project developers on strategies for selling their assets, raising funds and understanding current or future legislation. We also provide educational support on the state and structure of carbon markets, as well as emerging trends. 3. POLICY: climate change policy and projects. We help countries in the Global South formulate and revise their climate change strategies and roadmaps. We work with international organisations and government authorities for the design and evaluation of climate change adaptation or mitigation projects (including ecosystem conservation and restoration), programs and policies, eligible for climate finance.
