Greetings to the TIST Kenya
Clean Air Action Corporation (CAAC) is pleased
to announce its intent to validate and verify its
project “TIST Program in Kenya VCS-CCB-010
under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and
Climate, Community and Biodiversity Alliance
(CCBA) standards.This verification is for the period
01-February-2015 to 01-February-2020. To receive
the verification, CAAC must demonstrate, among
other things, that TIST is beneficial to climate,
community and biodiversity. CAAC has submitted
Monitoring Reports (MR) to CCB and to AENOR
Internacional, S.A.U. (AENOR), a CCBA certified
auditor.
We are also required to disseminate the monitoring
results. For those of you with internet access,
including at the cyber café, we welcome you to visit

The following are the monitoring results for their

TIST helps farmers participate in the carbon
credit business. Farmers receive a share
70% of profits from the sales. Profits are
created through participating in the carbon
business, which involves planting trees and keeping
them alive for long term.
Growing trees absorb carbon dioxide through
photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is one of the
‘greenhouse gases’, which captures the sun’s radiant
heat inside the Earth’s atmosphere, helping to
maintain the temperature of the Earth’s surface. The
Earth is getting hotter and hotter which can be very
damaging. This is called the Greenhouse Effect,
which causes some areas of the world to
experience more flooding, more drought or
desertification.
The burning of fossil fuels like oil, coal and natural
gas and the cutting down of trees produces carbon
dioxide. Because growing trees absorb carbon
dioxide, they help reduce the Greenhouse Effect.
Governments and large industries in many
countries want to reduce their emission of carbon
dioxide, so that the Earth does not heat up as much.
They have signed many different agreements,
including the Paris Accords, which have every
government in the world involved.
TIST Quantifiers count and measure the trees we
plant, so that CAAC can work out how much carbon
dioxide the trees absorb. The unit of measurement
is equal to one tonne of carbon dioxide absorbed
and sequestered in the living tree. In order to make
a ‘carbon credit’, the TIST program must be
“Validated” by an outside third party to assure that
all international requirements are met. Then the
amount of CO2 sequestered by the TIST trees is
“Verified”, to be accurate. Companies and
Governments can then buy those ‘carbon credits’,
meaning they can pay for TIST trees to reduce their
carbon dioxide emissions for them.
We must have honest and accurate data on trees
to sell these credits to a buyer. The carbon credit
money can help groups to be even more
productive, effective and start new projects. TIST
groups get paid an advance of $20 for each 1000
trees each year (roughly 2.00 Kshs per live tree
per year).When the carbon is sold, the TIST farmers
will receive 70% of the profits. In addition to the
greenhouse gas payments, the TIST farmers also
benefit from other TIST activities that the Verifiers
have determined are worth over 40 times as much
as the prepayments to date.
TIST Farmers - lets plant more trees!
Together we achieve greater benefits.

ENGLISH VERSION 4
TIST farmers have responded to a global
call to combat global warming and climate
change. Many farmers have sought
understanding through TIST seminars/trainings and
at cluster meetings, to learn and understand more
about global warming, its effect on the climate, and
mitigation approaches. We see many impacts of
climate change today. Just to illustrate a few
instances of impacts - floods, droughts and typhoons
are more intense. Other notable illustrations are
the gradual wearing off the glaciers at the peak of
Mt. Kenya, unpredictable weather patterns that have
resulted in crop failures in many areas, drying of
water springs and water catchments areas, among
many others.
This month’s newsletter will share training notes
from seminars, so that we all can understand global
warming and climate change better. We will begin
by defining each term and explaining it further and
then learn how your trees play a significant role in
mitigating the effects of global warming.
What is Global Warming?
Global warming refers to an average increase in
the Earth’s temperature, which in turn causes
changes in climate. A warmer Earth will lead to
changes in rainfall patterns, stronger storms, a rise
in sea level, crop failures, and a wide range of
impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. When
scientists talk about the issue of climate change,
their concern is about global warming caused by
human activities and the extremes of climate and
weather variability this brings about.
Is the Earth getting warmer?
Yes! The Earth has warmed by about 1ºC over the
past 100 years. Over 95% of the world’s leading
climate scientists say that things people do are
making the Earth warmer, such as burning of fossil
fuels including coal, petrol, and natural gas, and
cutting forest and managing land poorly.
What is the Greenhouse Effect?
The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature
that the Earth experiences because certain gases
in the atmosphere, called greenhouse gases - like
carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, sulfur dioxide, and
methane - trap energy from the sun. Major sources
of carbon are deforestation, gases emitted from
industries, gases emitted from motor vehicles, gases
emitted from burn of wood fuel or charcoal and
burning of forests.
What are the dangers of Global Warming?
• Severe water stress in the arid and semiarid
land areas would result in more areas
becoming desert.
• Increased spread of diseases like malaria.As
areas become warmer, they become suitable
breeding grounds for mosquitoes, and
increasing risks of malaria infection. Many
families and health institutions can be
impacted, average life spans decline, and infant
mortality rates rise.
• Decreased agricultural production in many
tropical and subtropical countries, especially
countries in East Africa. Due to decreased
TIST Farmers Combat Global Warming and
Climate Change.
ENGLISH VERSION 5
rainfall and increased breeding of pests, due
to increased warming, the production of food
crops may decrease, and this results in poverty
and hunger among many families and
communities.
• Higher worldwide food prices. As more
farmers get less yields and food supplies
become scarce, the prices increase because
the demand is high, and supply is low.
• Major changes in the productivity and
composition of critical ecological systems,
particularly forests. Water catchment areas
in the mountains and forests continue to dry
up. This will affect the ability to irrigate crops
and will reduce stream flows necessary to
keep dams and reservoirs replenished.This
will reduce generation of hydroelectric
power. Our industries, hospitals and other
institutions that heavily rely on electricity will
be severely affected. The supply of piped
water to urban areas, as well as rural homes,
will also be affected.
• Tens of millions of people at risk from
flooding and landslides, driven by projected
increases in rainfall intensity and in coastal
areas, rising sea levels.
How can I prevent Global Warming?
“I’m a farmer. I can grow crops and I can absorb
carbon. I can sell my crops and I can sell my carbon.”
Plant and care for trees!
As mentioned above, carbon dioxide is the major
cause of global warming. Trees absorb carbon
dioxide from the air during photosynthesis and
store it in the wood, roots and soil as cellulose
carbon. However, when trees are cut and burned,
they release most of the carbon they had stored
back to the air.
Did you know each tree could create a
microclimate?
Trees and their cover cool the surface of the earth.
Feel the comfort of the shade of a tree. Notice
that the soil below is moister than where the sun
bakes it with no shade. When the ground stays
cooler, the ground holds more moisture longer. This
means that trees on your land will help improve
the amount of water in your soil and help retain it
for a longer time. This will help your crops and also
even help the water users in your area.
What are carbon credits?
To make a TIST carbon credit requires three things:
1) A real and additional reduction in the carbon
dioxide (CO2) in the air;
2) A promise to keep the carbon out of the air
for many years (usually 30);
3) A Verification by an independent third party
that certifies that the actions have taken place
according to all the rules, and the amounts of
tonnes sequestered are accurate.
Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air during
photosynthesis and store it in the wood, roots and
soil.The amount of carbon taken from the air and
stored can be measured and calculated, and then,
when verified as accurate, this absorption of carbon
dioxide can be sold on the world market as carbon
credits. Buyers can purchase these credits to offset
their carbon dioxide emissions.
TIST is able to sell the carbon absorbed in trees,
just like producers sell sugar and milk.With carbon,
ENGLISH VERSION 6
however, you don’t ship the tree to the market.
Instead, the value is from the carbon taken out of
the air, kept in the tree on your farm or forest,
measured and reported. The trading of carbon
credits can be done through electronic exchanges,
or it can be arranged between people or companies
directly. We have to meet the market rules and
requirements. We cannot clear forest, or cut trees
to plant trees, since this is bad for the environment.
We have to commit to keep trees in a grove
growing for the long-term, 30 years or more. We
have to report data accurately. Once trees are
planted, some measurements and calculations are
made to measure the amount of carbon TIST
farmers trees have absorbed. Note again, trees are
never actually taken to the markets.They remain
in the shambas and the longer they stay alive, the
longer the period of receiving payments. So, the
farmer keeps the trees, the fodder, the firewood,
and the fruits and the nuts.The money that TIST
makes selling carbon offsets creates a new source
of income and is then shared with TIST Small Groups
and used to support the costs of TIST, including
training, quantification, and management.
Do all trees absorb the same amount of
carbon?
No. Trees with wider circumference (more
biomass) store more carbon that trees that are thin.
Taller trees also absorb more carbon than short
trees.Therefore, trees that are thick will bring more
income from carbon credits. This means trees
planted with good spacing have a chance of
growing big and tall and earn more carbon income.
They do not compete for soil nutrients and water
as much as trees that are closely spaced.
Therefore, in order to receive good payments out
of our trees, it is important to plant them in a good
enough spacing that will allow them to grow healthy,
tall and big.Thinning some of the trees to harvest
firewood and keep the other trees growing well is
usually the best way to manage your trees.
Where/who are the buyers of carbon
credits?
Currently, carbon credits are sold on voluntary
markets and in compliance markets.They may be
certified in different ways, just as there are different
brands and certifications for other products you
buy and sell (like coffee, and organic coffee under
different labels). TIST could market its carbon
credits on the compliance or the voluntary market
because they are of high quality.
There are many different standards in these markets
with different and ever-changing rules about tree
planting, monitoring, and reporting that we must
meet to sell carbon offsets. We use the highest
quality standards for the Validation and Verification
— the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the
Climate, Community, and Biodiversity Alliance
Standards (CCBA).
TIST has two basic types of buyers:
The first is made up of people willing to give money
to encourage people to plant trees. Examples
include paying for tree planting projects to make a
wedding, or a conference, carbon neutral. The
second type is made up of companies in the US,
Europe, Canada and other industrial countries that
are making voluntary commitments to reduce their
GhG emissions, either because they are good
stewards of the environment, or they are preparing
for future regulatory requirements.
TIST is very happy to have good quality carbon
credits, and to be able to supply many different
customers.

Miti inayokua hunyonya gesi ya kaboni kwa
njia ya kutengeneza chakula. Kaboni
dioksidi ni mojawapo ya ‘gesi chafu’
(greenhouse gases) ambazo huteka joto la jua
lililopo katika anga ya dunia na kusaidi kudumisha
hali ya joto katika uso wa dunia. Wanasayansi
wengine wanafikiri kuwa dunia inazidi kuwa na joto
zaidi na zaidi, joto ambalo lweza kuwa lenye
kudhuru sana. Jambo hili huitwa athari ya hewa chafu
(greenhouse effect), ambayo hufanya maeneo
mengine kupanda mafuriko zaidi, ukame zaidi au
kuenea kwa janga.
Kuchomwa kwa ngataa kama mafuta, makaa
yam awe na gesi ya kiasili hutoa kaboni dioksidi.
Kwa sababu miti huchukua kaboni dioksidi kutoka
hewani, inasaidia kupunguza athari za gesi chafu.
Serikali na viwanda vikubwa katika nchi nyingi
wanataka kupunguza utoaji wa kaboni dioksidi ili
dunia isizidishe joto sana.
Maqwantifaya wa TIST huhesabu na kupima
miti tunayopanda ili TIST ifanye kazi ya kuhesabu
ni kiasi kipi cha kaboni dioksidi kinachonyonywa
na miti. Kipimo chake huitwa ‘carbon credit’ (kadi
za kaboni) na ni sawa na kunyonya kilo elfu moja
za kaboni dioksidi. Makampuni na serikali zaweza
kununua kadi hizi kumaanisha wanaweza kulipia
miti ili ipunguze utoaji wa kaboni dioksidi.
Lazima tuwe na data yenye kuaminika na sahihi
kuhusu miti ili kuuza kadi hizi za kaboni kwa
mnunuaji. Pesa kutokana na kuuza kaboni hii zaweza
kusaidia vikundi kuzalisha zaidi, kufanya kazi zaidi
na kuanza miradi mipya.Vikundi vya TIST hulipwa
dolla ishirini kwa kila miti elfu moja iliyo hai kila
mwaka (takriban shilingi 1.8 kwa kila mti hulio hai
kila mwaka). Malipo ya gesi chafu si faida ya kipekee
kikundi kidogo hupata kwa sababu miti ina thamani
mara kumi hadi arobaini kuliko pesa inayopata
kutokana na biashara ya kaboni.
Wakulima wa TIST – tupandeni miti zaidi!
Pamoja tufikie faida kubwa zaidi.

Wakulima katika TIST wameitikia mwito
wa ulimwengu wa kupambana na
ongezeko la joto na mabadiliko ya
tabia nchi. Wakulima wengi wametafuta kuelewa
kupitia semina/mafunzo ya TIST na katika mikutano
ya cluster ili kusoma na kuelewa mengi zaidi kuhusu
kuongezeka kwa joto, athari zake kwa tabianchi
na mbinu za kukabiliana nalo. Tunaona athari za
mabadiliko ya tabianchi leo. Ili kuonyesha matukio
kadhaa ya athari hizi, mafuriko ya Elnino ya mwaka
1998 yaliyovuruga karibu nchi yote na ukame mrefu
uliofuatilia, na upepo mkali wa mwaka 2004 sana
sana uliongezewa na ongezeko la joto duniani.
Viashiria vingine mashuhuri ni kupunguzika kwa
barafu katika kilele cha mlima Kenya, hali ya anga
isiyo na utaratibu na ambayo imesababisha
kuharibika kwa mazao katika maeneo mengi,
kukauka kwa chemichemi na vyanzo vya maji,
pamoja na mengine mengi.
Jarida la mwezi huu linaangazia mafunzo
kutoka semina ili sote tuelewe ongezeko la joto
duniani na mabadiliko ya tabianchi. Tutaanza kwa
kuelezea kila neon na kulieleza zaidi na pia tujue
jinsi miti yako ina jukumu kubwa katika kukabiliana
na athari za ongezeko la joto duniani.
Ongezeko la joto duniani ni nini?
Ongezeko la joto duniani ni ongezeko wastani la
joto duniani, ambalo huleta mabadiliko katika
tabianchi. Dunia yenye joto zaidi yaweza
kusababisha mabadiliko katika mvua, dhoruba kali
zaidi, kuongezeka kwa maji baharini, kuharibika
kwa mimea, na athari kadhaa kwa mimea, wanyama
pori na wanadamu. Wanasayansi wanapoongea
kuhusu suara la mabadiliko ya tabianchi na katika
hali ya anga, wasi wasi yao huelekezwa kwa
Wakulima katika TIST wapambana na ongezeko
la joto ulimwenguni na mabadiliko ya tabia nchi.
ongezeko la joto linalotokana na kazi za binadamu
na utofauti katika tabianchi na hali ya anga
unaoletwa na jambo hili.
Je, joto katika dunia linaongezeka?
Ndio! Dunia imeongezeka joto zaidi ya digrii moja
katika miaka mia moja iliyopita. Wengi wa
wanasayansi wanaoongoza katika dunia hufikiri
kuwa shughuli za binadamu hufanyanya dunia
kuongezeka joto, kama kuchoma makaa yam awe,
petrol na gesi ya kiasilia na kukata misitu na
usimamizi mbaya wa ardhi.
Greenhouse Effect ni nini?
Athari hii ni kuongezeka kwa joto duniani
kutakotokana na uwepo wa gesi Fulani katika hewa,
zinazoitwa gesi chafu, kama, carbon dioxide, nitrous
oxide, sulphur dioxide, na methane ambazo hutega
nishati kutokana na jua.Vyanzo vikuu vya kaboni ni
ukataji wa misitu, gesi kutokana na viwanda, gesi
kutokana na magari, gesi kutokana na kuchoma miti
au makaa na kuchoma misitu.
Hatari za ongezeko la joto duniani ni zipi?
§ Uhaba wa maji mkali katika maeneo kame au
yanayopakana na maeneo kame waweza
kusababisha maeneo zaidi kuwa na jangwa.
§ Ongezeko la kuenea kwa magonjwa kama
malaria. Jinsi maeneo yanavokuwa yenye joto
zaidi, yanakuwa mwafaka zaidi kama maeneo
ya kuzalisha ya mbu, na kuongeza uwezekano
wa kupata malaria. Familia na hospitali nyingi
zaweza kuathirika, wastani ya miaka ya kuishi
kupungua, na ongezeko la vifo vya watoto
wadogo.
KISWAHILI VERSION 5
§ Kupunguka kwa uzalishaji katika nchi za
kitropiki na kisub-tropiki, hasa nchi katika
Afrika Mashariki. Kwa sababu ya mvua
iliyopunguka na ongezeko la uzalishaji wa
wadudu kwa sababu ya joto, uzalishaji wa
chakula waweza kupungua na ili husababisha
umaskini na njaa katika familia na jamii nyingi.
§ Gharama zilizoongezeka za chakula katika
ulimwengu mzima. Jinsi wakulima wengi
watakavyopata mazao chache na chakula kuwa
adimu, ndivyo bei ya chakula itakavyoongezeka
kwa sababu mahitaji ni mengi na usambazaji ni
kidogo.
§ Mabadiliko makubwa katika uzalishaji na
muundo wa mifumo muhimu ya mazingira hasa
misitu. Maeneo ya vyanzo vya maji katika
milima na misitu huendelea kukauka. Hili
litaathiri uwezo wa kumwagilia mazao maji na
kupunguza maji katika mikondo ya maji
yanayohitajika kujaza mabwawa na hifadhi za
maji. Hili litapunguza kutengenezwa kwa
umeme. Viwanda, mahospitali na taasisi
zinginezo zetu ambazo kwa kiwango kikubwa
hutegemea umeme zitaathirika sana.
Usambazaji wa maji ya paipu katika maeneo
ya mijini nay ale ya vijijini pia utaathirika.
§ Makumi ya mamilioni ya watu watawekwa
katika hatari ya mafuriko na maporomoko ya
ardhi, yanayoletwa na makadirio ya ongezeko
la uzito wa mvua na katika maeneo ya bahari,
ongezeko la viwango vya maji.
Nawezaje kuzuia ongezeko la joto
ulimwenguni?
Panda na uichunge miti!
Kama ilivyotajwa hapo juu, carbon dioxide ni moja
ya gesi zinazoleta ongezeko la joto ulimwenguni.
Miti hunyonya gesi hii kutoka kwa hewa
inapotengeneza chakula na kuiweka katika mbao,
mizizi na udongo kama kaboni selulosi. Hata hivyo,
miti inapokatwa na kuchomwa, huachilia kaboni
iliyokuwa imeweka.
Unajua kuwa ila mti waweza kutengeneza
tabianchi ndogo mahali ulipo?
Miti na bima yake hupunguza joto lililo katika uso
wa dunia. Hisi faraja ya kivuli cha mti. Tambua
kwamba udongo ulio chini yake huwa na maji zaidi
kulika ya udongo ulio palipo na jua pasipo na kivuli.
Udongo unapokaa ukiwa baridi, huwa unaweka maji
muda mrefu zaidi. Ili lamaanisha kuwa miti katika
ardhi yako itasaidia kuongeza kiasi cha maji katika
udongo wako na pia itasaidia kuweka maji udongoni
kwa muda mrefu zaidi. Hili litasaidia mimea yako
na pia kusaidia watu wanaotumia maji katika eneo
lako.
Kadi za kaboni ni nini?
Ili kutengeneza kadi ya kaboni wahitaji vitu vitatu:
1) Punguzo la kweli na la kuongeza la kaboni
dioksidi iliyo katika hewa;
2) Ahadi ya kuweka kaboni hiyo mbali na hewa
kwa muda mrefu;
3) Ukaguzi unaofanywa na chama tofauti
kinachothibitisha kwamba shughuli
zimefanyika kulingana na mujibu wa sheria.
Miti hunyonya kaboni dioksidi kutoka kwa hewa
wakati inapotengeneza chakula na kuiweka katika
mbao, mizizi na udongo. Kiasi cha kaboni
kilichochukuliwa kutoka kwa hewa hupimwa na
kuhesabiwa, halafu, kinapothibitishwa kuwa sahihi,
kaboni hii iliyonyonywa yaweza kuuzwa katika
soko la ulimwengu kama kadi za kaboni. Wanunuzi
KISWAHILI VERSION 6
waweza kununua kadi hizi kukabiliana na kaboni
wanayoachilia kwa hewa.
TIST huweza kuuza kaboni iliyonyonywa na
miti kama wazalishaji wanavyouza sukari na
maziwa. Hata hivyo, katika kaboni, hauhitaji kutuma
mti sokoni. Badalake, thamani ya kaboni iliyotolewa
katika hewa na kuwekwa katika miti iliyo shambani
au katika msitu wako, hupimwa na kuripotiwa.
Biashara ya kadi za kaboni zaweza kufanyika New
York, Chicago, London na mijiji mingineyo
ulimwenguni, ama pia kupangwa kati ya watu au
kampuni mbili moja kwa moja. Lazima tutimize
sheria na mahitaji ya soko. Hatuwezi kukata msitu
wote au kukata miti ili kupanda miti kwani hili ni
baya kwa mazingira. Lazima tujitoe kuweka miti hii
katika shamba kwa muda mrefu, thelathini au zaidi.
Lazima turipoti data sahihi. Miti inapopandwa,
vipimo na hesabu hufanyika ili kupima kiasi cha
kaboni iliyonyonywa na miti ya mkulima katika TIST.
Kumbuka tena, miti haipelekwi sokoni. Hukaa
shambani na jinsi inavyokaa hai, ndivyo malipo
yanavyoongezeka. Kwa hivyo, mkulima hukaa na
miti, lishe ya mifugo, kuni, matunda na pia karanga.
Pesa zinazotengenezwa na TIST katika kuuza kadi
za kaboni hujenga chanzo kipya cha mapato na
hugawanywa kati ya vikundi vidogo katika TIST na
hutumika kusaidia kukidhi gharama za TIST, ambazo
ni pamoja na mafunzo, uhesabu miti na usimamizi.
Je, Miti yote hunyonya kiasi saw ach kaboni?
La, miti iliyo na mzingo mpana huweka kaboni zaidi
ya miti iliyo myembamba. Miti mirefu pia hunyonya
kaboni zaidi ya miti mifupi. Hivyo basi, miti iliyo
mipana huleta mapato zaidi kutokana na kadi za
kaboni. Haishindani kupata virutubisho katika
udongo na maji kama miti iliyokaribiana.
Hivyo basi, ili kupata mapato mazuri
kutokana na miti yetu, ni muhimu kuipanda kwa
nafasi tosha itakayoiruhusu kukua kiafya, kwa urefu
na upana. Kupunguza miti ili kupata kuni na kuiacha
miti mingine ikue vizuri huwa njia nzuri zaidi ya
kusimamia miti yako.
Ni wapi/nani hununua kadi za kaboni?
Hivi sasa, kadi za kaboni huuzwa katika
masoko ya hiari na katika masoko ya kuhitimu
mahitaji. Zaweza kuthibitishwa kwa njia tofauti,
kama kulivyo na bidhaa mbalimbali na kuthibitishwa
kwa bidhaa zingine unazonunua na kuuza (kama
kahawa, kahawa aina mbalimbali). TIST yaweza
kuuza kadi zake za kaboni katika masoko ya hiari
au katika masoko ya kuhitimu mahitaj kwa sababu
kadi zake ni za hali ya juui.
Kuna viwango mbali mbali katika masoko haya
vilivyo na sheria mbali mbali na zinazobadilika kila
baada ya muda zinazohusu upandaji wa miti,
ufuatiliaji, na kuripoti ambazo tunahitajika kuhitimu
ili kuuza kadi hizi za kaboni. Tunatumia viwango vya
hali ya juu zaidi katika ukaguzi na kuthibitishwa —
the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) na the Climate,
Community, and Biodiversity Alliance Standards
(CCBA).
TIST ina wanunuzi wa aina mbili msingi:
Aina ya kwanza ni ya watu wanaojitolea kupeana
pesa ili kuwapa watu motisha ya kupanda miti. Kwa
mfano kulipia miradi ya upandaji wa miti kufanya
harusi au semina kuwa kuwa isiyoongeza kaboni
katika hewa. Aina ya pili ni ya makampuni yaliyo
Amerika, Uropa, Canada na katika nchi zingine
zilizokua viwanda zinazojitolea kupunguza gesi
chafu zinazotoa kwa sababu mawakala wema wa
mazingira au wanajitayarisha kuhitimu mahitaji
Fulani ya baadaye.
TIST ina furaha sana kuwa na kadi za kaboni
za hali ya juu, na kuweza kusambaza kwa wateja
mbalimbali.
