How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:
['Removes/stores GHGs (e.g., projects that capture, sequester, or otherwise enhance the "sinks" that accumulate and store GHGs)']
Impact on Underrepresented Groups:
Our project places Indigenous women and youth at the forefront of climate action. Women lead restoration efforts, share traditional ecological knowledge, and participate in decision-making roles. Youth are trained in sustainable practices and ecological monitoring. Over 80% of our team consists of Indigenous leaders, ensuring representation and ownership of the project. By addressing climate vulnerability, poverty, and gender equity, we empower these groups to advocate for systemic change while building resilient communities.
