How it works

The project “Afforestation with Hazelnut Plantations in Western Georgia” sequesters carbon on previously abandoned land in a poor rural region near the Black Sea coast. It halts ongoing land degradation by improving its natural resources, while also providing much needed, sustainable and long-term income opportunities to local communities.
