Forest Environment & Climate change
Forest Environment & Climate Change
Forest environment and Climate change intervention is our focus. We are dedicated to sustainable development—can translate its organizational mandate into concrete strategies to protect forest environments and tackle climate change.
Organizational Priorities in Forest Environment and Climate Change
Climate Change Mitigation
- Protecting and expanding forest coverto absorb CO₂ and reduce emissions.
- REDD+ participation(Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation).
- Promoting climate-smart forestry
Adaptation and Resilience
- Promoting climate-resilient forest ecosystems(e.g., planting native species, managing fire risk).
- Supporting forest-dependent communitiesto adapt to climate variability (through diversified livelihoods, water conservation, etc.).
- Integrating forests into disaster risk reductionplans (e.g., flood and landslide control).
Sustainable Forest Management (SFM)
- Implementing sustainable loggingand resource extraction practices.
- Supporting community-based forest management(CBFM).
- Ensuring land tenure securityfor indigenous and local communities.
Conservation and Biodiversity
- Designating protected areasor forest reserves.
- Restoring degraded ecosystemsand biodiversity corridors.
- Balancing conservation with human development (e.g., ecotourism or agro-forestry).
Policy Advocacy and Capacity Building
- Influencing national forest and climate policies.
- Building local capacity and awarenessfor climate-smart forest practices.
- Promoting intersectoral coordination(agriculture, water, energy, etc.).
Monitoring, Third Party Evaluation, Reporting, and Verification
- Investing in remote sensing and GISfor deforestation tracking.
- Developing MRV systemsto support carbon credit mechanisms and ensure transparency.
- Participating in global or regional climate reporting platforms.

Education & Awareness
- Implement environmental educationin schools and villages—using interactive communication tools—to highlight links between forests, climate, water, and livelihoods
Innovation and Research
- Conducting climate modelingfor forest health and fire risk.
- Testing nature-based solutions(e.g., urban forestry, blue carbon ecosystems).
- Innovating in finance: green bonds, climate funds, or payments for ecosystem services (PES).
