AFOLU Projects

AFOLU means Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use.
Include activities that count greenhouse gas emissions to help fight climate change.
Focus on lowering emissions or increasing carbon absorption in agriculture, forestry, and land use.

JNR REDD+ Project

Jurisdictional REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) projects aim to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation at a large-scale, often within a specific country, province, or district. Unlike project-based REDD+, which focuses on smaller areas, jurisdictional REDD+ integrates forest conservation strategies into broader national or regional policies, enhancing governance and enforcement, and promoting sustainable land use practices across larger landscapes.
These projects help generate carbon credits by reducing emissions, which can be sold on international markets, creating financial incentives for conservation. Jurisdictional REDD+ also promotes biodiversity conservation, supports sustainable livelihoods, and provides communities with alternatives to deforestation, making it a key approach in the global effort to mitigate climate change.

Involving shifting from conventional timber harvesting to sustainable forestry practices that prioritize carbon sequestration, emissions reductions, and ecosystem preservation.
This transition can significantly contribute to climate goals while generating revenue through carbon credits.

(Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation)

ARR Projectsaims at increasing carbon capture by planting trees on land that was not forested, damaged, or cleared before.

Afforestation: Establishing forests on lands that have not been forested for a significant period, often defined as at least 50 years.
Reforestation: Re-establishing forests on lands that were recently deforested (usually within the past 10 years).
Revegetation: Restoring native vegetation to degraded lands, which can also contribute to carbon sequestration and ecosystem recovery.

Wetland and peatland conservation and restoration are among the most effective nature-based solutions for climate mitigation.
Wetlands and peatlands are among the most efficient natural carbon sinks, storing significant amounts of carbon in their soils and vegetation.
