Climate Hazards

Climate hazards will cause the coming generations to inherit an impoverished environment.

Level of sensitivity

It will mean a hungrier, less fertile, and more unstable world where more conflict will erupt.this is due to the mismanagement of natural resources such as forests and understand the causes of global climate change.

Level of adaptive capacity

Improved climate change adaptation and mitigation, enhanced environmental sustainability and leveraged returns on biomass resources, delivering sustainable development to the community.
Solution

Sustainable produced charcoal: is charcoal produced from wood from woodlands under participatory forest management that applies ecologically sound harvesting principles. Charcoal is produced using efficient kiln technology and is transported and sold in accordance with national regulations.

Action

Describe the community-based process used to develop the solution including tools and processes used

The project will work with communities and local government to establish sustainable and energy efficient charcoal production from woodland in village forest reserves. This will include training to village leaders and village natural resources committees; training to charcoal producers on improved charcoal production techniques;agreement on good practice in terms of harvesting,production techniques and governance; and integration of sustainable charcoal production into village forest reserve management plans. Working with community networks, the project will support advocacy initiatives for improved governance of the charcoal sector. The project will also conduct an assessment of the environmental and social impacts of different charcoal value chains.
