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:

The project actively supports youth and women as leaders in climate action and coastal stewardship. Youth under 30 play central roles in project coordination, site delivery, monitoring, and public engagement, including through the Sustainability Ambassador network. This approach provides practical leadership experience, builds environmental skills, and supports pathways into long-term involvement in climate and conservation work.

Women are represented across leadership and delivery roles, including project management, coordination, and field implementation. This representation supports inclusive decision-making and ensures that community-based perspectives shape project design and adaptation.

The project is grounded in local, island-based leadership and focuses on coastal communities that are directly exposed to climate impacts such as erosion, flooding, and storm damage. By working with landowners and volunteers, the initiative lowers barriers to participation and encourages shared responsibility for shoreline resilience.

Underrepresented groups are not engaged as beneficiaries alone, but as active contributors shaping how restoration is delivered, adapted, and sustained. This structure builds local capacity, strengthens stewardship, and supports more inclusive climate solutions rooted in lived experience.
