The Problem

In the northwest Gansu Province, the grasslands have suffered severe degradation and desertification due to the combined effects of climate change and human activity. The baseline survey revealed that vast areas had significantly reduced grass yields (dropping by 30%–50%) in slightly degraded zones, and widespread ecological decline in severely degraded zones. This deterioration not only reduced the land’s capacity to store carbon but also threatened local biodiversity, soil stability, and the livelihoods of local communities dependent on healthy grasslands for their herds.

The Solution

Led by the Zhangye Academy of Forestry Sciences, the project addresses these challenges through targeted restoration and sustainable management. Over 261,059 hectares of degraded grassland are being rehabilitated over 6 counties via reseeding with high-quality local forage, strategic fencing, and rotational or rest grazing in less degraded areas. Severely degraded zones undergo intensive reseeding, while daily management measures - such as rodent and pest control, fire prevention, and soil desertification mitigation - ensure the ecosystem’s long-term resilience. By restoring vegetation, improving soil carbon storage, and fostering sustainable grazing practices, the project is expected to remove 29,440,243 tCO2e over 40 years (averaging 736,006 tCO2e annually) while supporting both environmental recovery and local socio-economic development.

The Problem

In Scotland, large areas that were once covered in trees have been replaced by other ecosystems, like heathlands, often resulting in less carbon sequestration, and lower biodiversity. Now, ancient woodlands - those that have existed since at least AD 1600 and have developed irreplaceable, complex ecosystems - cover only 1% of the country. Native woodlands are not doing much better, covering just 4%.

The Solution

The project will increase carbon capture and biodiversity near Loch Ness and Loch Mhor, through the creation of 63 hectares of new native woodland. The woodland will serve as an expansion of nearby ancient native woodlands. Since herbivores like deer, with no natural predators left, can harm forest ecosystems and prevent natural forest regeneration, both the new trees and the existing forest will be fenced.

The Problem

The regions of Assam and Odisha face severe ecological challenges due to unsustainable agricultural practices and the vulnerability of monocultures to climate threats. Traditional burning and decay of biomass not only waste potential carbon sequestration opportunities but also contribute to local pollution and loss of biodiversity.

The Solution

The project only uses agricultural waste streams that are usually left to decay or burned in open fields (bamboo, woody trimmings, corn cobs, rice straw, etc) to transform agricultural waste into a valuable resource. Surplus biomass is heated in soil pits in a low-oxygen environment, a process called pyrolysis, that prevents the carbon from turning into carbon dioxide and escaping into the atmosphere. The end product is biochar, a highly stable carbonized material, which is then mixed with manure and added to soil, where it acts as a fertiliser and remains stable for a long time. The project aims to improve local ecosystems, boost farmers' incomes, and achieve substantial carbon sequestration.

The Problem

Over 21 million people in Uganda are without access to clean water. Communities often rely on unsafe wells, lakes and other open water sources that are highly susceptible to contamination. Community groups own many existing boreholes across Uganda that have fallen into disrepair because maintenance programmes have been poorly managed or have proven too expensive.

The Solution

The Lango Safe Water project aims to resolve this issue by restoring existing boreholes and providing training for their continued maintenance. In addition to improved access to clean water, this will serve to reduce the emissions associated with boiling water to sanitise it. The initiative also addresses gender inequality and has become the first ever Gold Standard Gender Responsive certification project.
