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.
