This project uses nature-based solutions to reduce deforestation and promote agroforestry in Timor Leste. It delivers essential climate mitigation and adaptation impacts, and individual and community behaviour shifts leading to improved forest management. A robust deforestation behaviour change barrier analysis will be conducted, and complemented with the introduction of agroforestry practices for 500 households.  In addition, the project will generate learning about Timor Leste’s ability to engage in carbon crediting schemes.

A partnership with AbCF will facilitate farmer-to-farmer exchanges between Timorese farmers and Indigenous Australian carbon farmers to support mutual knowledge exchange, with an emphasis on Traditional Ecological Knowledge practices.

This project is funded under Component 2 of CRxN via the Pacific NbS Challenge.
