The Greenoxx Project is a project designed for the mitigation of greenhouse gases through forestry, framed in the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol.

Also, the CDM offices of Canada and Spain, with whom Uruguay has signed a Memorandum of Understanding, have approved the project.

Greenoxx NGO has been approved to act as Offset Aggregator within the Chicago Climate Exchange Electronic Commercialization Platform.

Greenoxx has also registered two additional forestry projects from Uruguay and is currently validating the first Avoided Deforestation Project in the Peruvian Amazon under the CCB Standard.
