Proyecto Mirador enables rural communities in Honduras to replace traditional cookstoves with fuel-efficient ‘Dos por Tres’ stoves. These have been engineered to burn hotter while using less fuel, reducing indoor air pollution, saving people money and cutting carbon emissions.

The Malawi Borehole Rehabilitation programme provides much needed safe drinking water to communities in Malawi’s Dowa and Kasungu districts by repairing damaged boreholes and drilling new holes.

This REDD project protects the native forests of Tasmania by making it more profitable for local people to engage in sustainable forest management practices than fell trees and degrade the land. In addition to preserving biodiversity (such as the endangered Tasmanian devil) and protecting the livelihoods of forest-dwelling communities, managing these forests in a sustainable way will also contribute significantly to preventing carbon emissions.

The Kasigau REDD project prevents deforestation and forest degradation, helping to protect wildlife and promote biodiversity in 500,000 acres of highly endangered Kenyan forest. With a focus on job creation, the project seeks to enable local communities to develop a sustainable source of income and improve their livelihoods, without resorting to ‘slash and burn’ agriculture.

This project enables low-income families in Shanxi Province to replace conventional, fossil-fuel burning cookstoves with subsidised ‘semi-gasifiers’ – efficient heating and cooking stoves that use leftover organic matter from crop harvesting such as corn cobs.

The Bangkok Kamphaeng Saen East project is Thailand’s first landfill gas project. It converts methane emissions from landfill waste into electricity, channelling it into the country’s national grid. The methane (a potent greenhouse gas) would otherwise escape into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
