    saccSustainable Agriculture in a Changing Climate - Agroforestry and certain conservation agriculture practices that increase the carbon content of the landscape provide a real opportunity for carbon finance to deliver on climate mitigation, climate adaptation and poverty reduction goals. However, this is true only if the carbon finance helps to overcome barriers at the farmer and higher levels (and related policy constraints) that are limiting adoption of these practices.The Sustainable Agriculture in a Changing Climate (SACC) project is exploring this opportunity.


    kfcpKalimantan Forests and Climate Partnership - The governments of Indonesia and Australia recognize that strong partnerships are needed in the global effort to tackle climate change through Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (REDD+). This shared vision lead to the Kalimantan Forests and Climate Partnership (KFCP), a REDD+ demonstration activity under the Indonesia-Australia Forest Carbon Partnership (IAFCP) founded in 2008.
