Climate Action program for community led carbon sequestration

The Program of Activities (PoA) aims at afforestation/reforestation activities in several states of India. This country level PoA will be implemented with implementing partners such as local NGOs, social enterprises, community organisations and groups. The project seeks to create carbon sinks, restore the local ecology and biodiversity while delivering significant socio-economic benefits to the local communities involved. The intent is to develop a community led afforestation / reforestation model on barren, waste, farm or common land, for ensuring long-term carbon removal.
