💚 #MondayMotivation In the heart of Dhenkanal, Odisha, voices from the ground came together—farmers, women leaders, and local officials—to reimagine how livelihoods and landscapes can thrive together. As part of our Verra-registered AFOLU (ARR) project, the initiative is expanding across Dhenkanal district, restoring 4,280 hectares of fallow land, generating 4.7 million carbon credits, and empowering 10,000+ smallholder farmers across Odisha’s tribal districts. At our Local Stakeholder Consultation (LSC) under the project “Strengthening Rural Livelihoods of Smallholder Farmers in Tribal Districts of Odisha,” we witnessed what collaboration truly looks like: 🌾Farmers, community leaders & officials from various government departments united to co-create local climate solutions 🌳 Plantation-based interventions identified as tools for carbon removal and income generation 💧 Discussions on soil & water restoration for long-term resilience 👩🌾 Shared stories of women-led agroforestry and community participation 🌍 Commitment to make every hectare restored a step toward sustainable rural prosperity Because when communities lead, climate action blossoms. #ClimateAction #Sustainability #NatureBasedSolutions #CarbonFinance #Agroforestry #FCFIndia #Odisha

🌿 Over $44 trillion, or more than half of global GDP, depends on nature. Yet biodiversity loss continues to accelerate, calling for unified global action. 📘 The ISO - International Organization for Standardization has launched ISO 17298 – Biodiversity for Organizations, a new framework that helps companies measure, manage, and disclose their biodiversity impacts, dependencies, and risks. Aligned with the TNFD and the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, it bridges the long-standing gap in corporate biodiversity action. A decisive step toward credible, consistent, and nature-positive business practices. Swipe to know more. #Biodiversity #ISO17298 #Sustainability #ESG #TNFD #ClimateAction

📢 Because everyone is an important part of the project, our 9th Local Stakeholder Consultation (LSC) for “Empowering Communities, Enriching Private and Community Lands” brought together women farmers, local champions, and governance leaders from Kalahandi district in #Odisha — all come together to restore nature and explore livelihoods. 👥 More than a hunderd participants joined the discussion, with an inspiring 60% women participation, reflecting the project’s strong foundation in inclusivity and community leadership. 💬 This consultation marks a vital step in the project development journey, ensuring that community voices guide every decision, and that climate action truly begins from the ground up. In partnership with Gram Vikas, Gram Vikas Community Development Foundation (GVCDF) and C-GEM | Centre for Grower-centric Eco-value Mechanisms, this initiative is helping communities: 🌳 Restoring 3,561 hectares of once-degraded land 💧 Reviving soils and water systems through resilient land practices 👩🌾 Empowering farmers and women leaders through social-forestry and agroforestry plantations ♻️ Generating 1.9 million tCO₂e in long-term carbon benefits under Plan Vivo Stay tuned for more.

178 trees. 🌱 0.26 hectares of land. One family that chose resilience over hesitation. In 2025, Katalpara village in Rani, #Assam, witnessed a quiet yet powerful act of climate leadership. Latu Rabha, a dedicated rural farmer, transformed his 0.26 hectares of once-barren land into a thriving plantation through a community-led agroforestry and carbon plantation initiative. With 178 plantation crops, including fruit-bearing species, Latu has turned previously unproductive land into a sustainable source of income. His efforts are restoring soil health, supporting biodiversity, and building long-term climate resilience for his family and community. A big thank you to our partner Rangsang Agro Producer Company Ltd. for their collaborative efforts and constant support on the ground to make stories like this truly come alive. 🌿 In a heartfelt message, his son shares: “Namaskar, I’m Shankar Rabha. I’m from Katalpara village. We are so delighted to get saplings from FCF India, and we hope that it will bring profit to us.” Their story is a reminder that when families come together to nurture the land, barren fields can bloom again and create livelihoods and hope for generations to come.

Your responses say it loud and clear: real restoration happens when quality seeds meet strong communities, steady support, and enabling policies. Together, these pieces grow more than trees. They grow resilient landscapes, thriving biodiversity, and empowered people. 🌿✨ #Restoration #NatureBasedSolutions #EcosystemRestoration #ClimateAction #Reforestation #Agroforestry #Biodiversity #Regeneration

📈 High-quality carbon credits are hitting record price levels — and that’s good news for climate integrity. ARR (Afforestation, Reforestation & Revegetation) credits are now trading close to $24/tonne, up from ~$14 earlier this year. As supply tightens and buyers demand greater transparency, permanence, and quality, the market is moving decisively away from cheap, low-integrity offsets. Year-to-date retirements have reached 128.15 million tonnes, with Q3 alone accounting for 31.86 million tonnes. For developers and buyers alike, this is a critical moment to double down on quality, verification, and co-benefits — the cornerstones of credible climate action. #CarbonMarkets #ClimateAction #NatureBasedSolutions #CarbonCredits #Sustainability #NetZero #ARR #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #CarbonFinance
