SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

More Than Carbon

The future of Africa’s rangelands requires more than one solution.

ARCBP therefore looks beyond carbon markets to opportunities that can create environmental and economic value within landscapes.

Renewable Energy

Solar energy harvesting can provide opportunities for clean energy generation while supporting wider development objectives.

Agrivoltaics

Agrivoltaic systems can explore the relationship between solar energy generation and productive land use.

Biomass

Biomass can become a resource rather than a waste stream when harvested and processed responsibly.

Potential outputs include:

Bioenergy | Biochar | Wood Vinegar

Sustainable Soil

Healthy soils are fundamental to productive landscapes.

ARCBP supports sustainable soil management approaches that can contribute to restoration and resilience.

Water

Water resources are essential to people, livestock, agriculture, wildlife and ecosystems.

Projects may incorporate approaches that strengthen water availability, management and resilience.

Responsible Climate-Smart Mining

Where mining activities are relevant to participating landscapes, ARCBP promotes the exploration of responsible climate-smart standards that recognise environmental and landscape considerations.

Eco-Tourism

Well-managed tourism can create economic value while supporting conservation and appreciation of natural landscapes.
