Our projects
The future of forest work and communities
Innovation

C40-F40: Forty Cities, Forty Forests
Innovation
With their high concentrations of people, influence and consumption, megacities have an enormous impact on climate change. By linking cities with forests, C40-F40 will empower cities to protect the globe’s most important carbon stores.
Sustainable charcoal traceability for enhanced forest protection and community livelihoods
Innovation
