COO Ostrom Climate Solutions Inc

Offsetters Climate Solutions Inc. ("OCS" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:COO)(FRANKFURT:9EA) is pleased to announce that international
development company, Chemonics International LLC ("Chemonics"), has awarded the
consortium of Ecological Carbon Offset Partners LLC ("ecoPartners"), ClearSky
Climate Solutions LLC ("ClearSky") and Offsetters, the contract to develop
project documentation for their ongoing BioREDD+ program in Colombia, South
America. 


Under the terms of the contract, the team of ecoPartners, ClearSky and
Offsetters will be responsible for developing and writing complete Project
Design Documentation for four unique REDD+ projects being undertaken by
Chemonics and its partners in Colombia. REDD - Reducing Emissions from
Deforestation and Degradation, is a carbon market mechanism that incentivizes
land owners to leave forests standing, thereby increasing carbon stocks over
time. Under Chemonics BioREDD+ program, the four projects will be developed
using both the Verified Carbon Standard ("VCS") to recognize the carbon
benefits, and the Climate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance ("CCBA")
Standard, which will recognize the social, environmental and biodiversity
impacts in the project areas.


Funded by USAID, the BioREDD+ program in Colombia has run from 2011 and will run
through 2014. Lead by Chemonics International, OPTIM and Fundacion Natura, USD
$27.8 million dollars will be invested through multiple activities supporting
biodiversity, climate change mitigation (REDD) activities, and climate change
adaptation activities in the Choco and Caribbean regions. The major goals of
this program are the establishment of at least eight financed REDD+ projects in
the pacific region covering one million hectares, as well as a carbon baseline
for the pacific and amazon regions in support of Colombia's regional REDD+
program.


"Our REDD technical team is excited to work alongside the exceptional people at
ecoPartners and ClearSky Climate Solutions, both recognized leaders in technical
carbon development work within the REDD sector," commented Dr. James Tansey, CEO
of Offsetters. "Chemonics International is a world class development
organization that delivers very high quality, innovative, and effective
development solutions to their clients, and we are honoured to be part of the
team that helps them deliver high quality technical solutions for their BIOREDD+
program in Colombia."
