GSFN sets the stage with CarbonEx to implement projects contributing to NDCs

We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with CarbonEx, a pioneering organization promoting sustainable agriculture and climate resilience. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in our shared commitment to sustainability, climate mitigation, and adaptation efforts that benefit local communities, farmers and the environment.

Empowering Farmers for Climate Resilience

Climate change profoundly threatens agricultural productivity, particularly for smallholder farmers who are most vulnerable to its impacts. CarbonEx addresses this challenge by promoting sustainable farming practices that enhance farms’ resilience to climate change. Through our partnership, we aim to empower farmers with the knowledge, tools, and financial incentives needed to adopt climate-smart agricultural practices.

Driving Sustainable Development Goals

Our collaboration with CarbonEx aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:

  • SDG 1 (No Poverty): By generating additional income for farmers by selling carbon credits, we help lift rural communities out of poverty.
  • SDG 2 (Zero Hunger): Promoting sustainable agricultural practices enhances food security by improving crop yields and resilience.
  • SDG 13 (Climate Action): Facilitating carbon sequestration and emission reductions directly supports global climate action goals.
  • SDG 15 (Life on Land): Encouraging reforestation and sustainable land management protects terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity.
    Enhancing Carbon Mitigation and Adaptation
    CarbonEx’s innovative approach measures, reports, and trades carbon credits from vegetative lands. This contributes to emission reductions and creates investment opportunities for private investors and corporations, incentivizing sustainable practices. By integrating advanced technologies like satellite remote sensing and machine learning, CarbonEx ensures accurate carbon measurement and transparent reporting.

Supporting Nigeria’s National Climate Goals

Our partnership supports Nigeria’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) by promoting climate-smart agricultural practices and reforestation efforts. CarbonEx’s initiatives contribute to the country’s goal of reducing emissions by 20% by 2030. Furthermore, by involving local farmers in carbon trading, we create a sustainable model that aligns with national and international climate objectives.

Looking Forward

Together with CarbonEx, we are committed to fostering a sustainable future where farmers are resilient to climate change and active contributors to climate mitigation efforts. Our partnership will drive meaningful change, promoting sustainability and environmental stewardship across the agricultural sector.

Join us in celebrating this exciting collaboration as we create a greener, more sustainable world for future generations.
