PRESS RELEASE
Kempten, March 18, 2024 – Dachser, myclimate, and terre des hommes have announced a long-term collaboration to launch new climate action projects worldwide and expand existing initiatives. The agreement was signed in December 2023.
The six-year collaboration between Dachser, myclimate, and terre des hommes focuses on two main areas: climate action projects certified by myclimate in South America, Africa, Asia, and Europe, and joint projects with terre des hommes supporting children and youth globally with an emphasis on climate action.
The steering committee, consisting of representatives from Dachser, myclimate, and terre des hommes, will oversee project selection and management.

Dachser will finance and contribute to project development, while myclimate and terre des hommes will manage the program and work with local partners to ensure sustainability and alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Stefan Baumeister, Managing Director of myclimate Germany, highlights the importance of long-term collaboration for effective climate action projects. The collaboration will focus on community projects such as clean energy access, water supply, agriculture, food security, waste management, and e-mobility.
Dachser’s partnership with terre des hommes aims to support children and young people in the face of the climate crisis. Joshua Hofert, Executive Board Member at terre des hommes, emphasizes the right of every child to a healthy environment and the collaboration’s goal to make this a reality.
