COO Ostrom Climate Solutions Inc

Offsetters Climate Solutions Inc. ("OCS" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:COO)(FRANKFURT:9EA) is proud to announce that the Great Bear (Haida
Gwaii) Forest Carbon Project, has completed its first verification with
international auditing firm KMPG Performance Registrar Inc. The Project was
verified under British Columbia's Forest Carbon Offset Protocol ("FCOP"), which
is sanctioned by the BC Emission Offsets Regulation ("BC EOR").


The Haida Gwaii Project is the third and final Project Area of the Great Bear
Forest Carbon Project undertaken by the Coastal First Nations ("CFN") and the
Nanwakolas Council ("NC"), and is part of the largest forest carbon project
developed in North America. The CFN is an umbrella group that represents First
Nations on the North and Central Coast and Haida Gwaii and the NC is comprised
of seven First Nations whose traditional territories are between Smith and Bute
Inlets, and on Northern Vancouver Island. This verification follows the 2011
verification of the North and Central Mid-Coast Project and the 2012
verification of the South Central Coast Project. The member Nations of the
Coastal First Nations and the Nanwakolas Council have entered into an
Atmospheric Benefit Sharing Agreement (ABSA) with the BC Government which
defines how benefits from the Great Bear Forest Carbon Project will be shared
between the governments.


In total, with the current Land Use Objectives the Great Bear Forest Carbon
Project delivers up to 1 million tonnes of carbon offsets per year over 25 years
from a total project area that covers more than 7 million hectares of coastal
temperate rainforest. The Haida Gwaii Forest Carbon Project achieved 654,427
tonnes of emission reductions from the 2011/2012 verification period.


The Great Bear Forest Carbon Project represents a milestone in Canadian history
and a milestone for human well being and conservation on land with
unextinguished Aboriginal Rights and Title. First Nations hold unextinguished
Aboriginal Rights and Title in the Great Bear Rainforest, while the Province of
British Columbia asserts Crown title to the land. The CFN, NCS and the Province
negotiated a number of landmark agreements, including Reconciliation Protocols
that acknowledged carbon assets on the land and included a commitment to share
benefits. The benefit sharing agreement for carbon with the Province gave the
Nations a tool to develop a conservation-based economy utilizing carbon finance.


Great Bear Carbon Corporation ("GBCC") president Chief Harold Leighton
commented, "The verification of the Haida Gwaii is an important milestone for
the Coastal First Nations. The Great Bear Forest Carbon Project is the result of
government to government negotiations that resulted in the establishment of over
two million hectares in Conservation Areas, and major reductions in harvest
volumes throughout the entire Rainforest." Chief Leighton further added, "Carbon
Financing was necessary in the negotiations for securing our support of
legislative commitments, and is an essential component in building the
conservation economy that will support healthy ecosystems and healthy local
communities."


Offsetters worked closely with the GBCC and NCS on the Haida Gwaii project.
Offsetters was the Project Manager, developing the required Project Design
Documentation, completing the harvested wood products and risk assessment
analysis as well as providing input regarding carbon model and leakage analysis.
In addition, Offsetters established a monitoring plan to meet the requirements
of FCOP and the BC EOR. Offsetters managed the validation and verification
processes of all three project areas on behalf of the CFN and NCS. Offsetters
utilized its proprietary Forest Carbon Asset Management System ("FCAMS") to meet
the long term data management requirements of the Great Bear Forest Carbon
Project.


"We are very proud to have been so closely associated with the Great Bear Forest
Carbon Project through our work with the talented and committed people who are
the Coastal First Nations," said Dr. James Tansey, CEO of Offsetters, "This
verification marks a significant milestone for the Province, Coastal First
Nations, Nanwakolas Council Society and carbon conservation, and demonstrates
the ongoing commitment of our Province and its people to foster and develop a
more sustainable, renewable economy - where the environment is a highly valued
resource."
