The April Salumei REDD+ project is located in Papua New Guinea, a country which contains ~7% of the world’s biodiversity in less than 1% of the world’s total land area.
As a result of the project, 603,712ha of virgin tropical rainforest is being conserved against planned deforestation, preventing approximately 22.8 million tonnes of GHG emissions from being released into the atmosphere. The project also protects vital habitat for many endangered species include the palm cockatoo, the bird of paradise and the southern crowned pigeon.
The project channels climate finance to autonomous Indigenous groups, through the conservation of one of the most ecologically distinct forest communities in the world. The project also promotes culturally inclusiveness, sustainable community development via an agreed Sustainable Development Plan.

Across India, wind farms introduce clean energy to the grid which would otherwise be generated by coal-fired power stations. Wind power is clean in two ways: it produces no emissions and also avoids the local air pollutants associated with fossil fuels. Electricity availability in the regions have been improved, reducing the occurrence of blackouts across the area.
The projects support national energy security and strengthen rural electrification coverage. In constructing the turbines new roads were built, improving accessibility for locals. The boost in local employment by people engaged as engineers, maintenance technicians, 24-hour on-site operators and security guards also boosts local economies and village services.
