Advancing Climate Resilience Through High-Integrity Carbon Finance

In collaboration with technical colleagues, I wrote and designed this publication which outlines CRS strategy for leveraging carbon finance to support smallholder farmers and strengthen climate resilience. Through nature-based solutions like agroforestry, watershed restoration, and drylands regreening, CRS links carbon markets to tangible development outcomes. The document highlights CRS leadership in the Restore Africa initiative and its expanding pipeline across Asia and Africa, emphasizing rigorous standards, community ownership, and measurable climate and livelihood benefits.
