Volkswagen ClimatePartner is committed to maintaining an ongoing dialogue with all stakeholders involved in the Longido and Monduli Rangelands Carbon Project (LMRCP) in Tanzania.

We would like to reiterate that Volkswagen ClimatePartner works closely with its project partners, Carbon Solve and SftFTZ, who are responsible for developing and managing the LMRCP.

Volkswagen ClimatePartner takes MISA’s concerns very seriously and believes that constructive dialogue can only be achieved through direct and meaningful participation of those affected, in a setting that allows for this, with the involvement of the project developer and the communities.

Following online and in-person meetings in Germany, it is now time to meet in Tanzania. We have invited MISA several times to meet in Tanzania and are awaiting their response.

We are convinced that holding another meeting in Germany would result in sensitive local matters being discussed without the input of those most affected, despite their voices being central to the issue.

Our offer of a joint meeting with MISA in Tanzania remains open. We are keen to engage in an exchange of views within a framework that ensures the participation of all relevant stakeholders and leads to practical solutions.
