The Improving Rural Livelihood Through Agroforestry in Punjab India-I project delivers substantial environmental and social benefits by increasing tree cover, carbon storage, and biodiversity while maintaining food production through agroforestry. Encompassing 4,255 hectares across three divisions of Punjab and involving more than 1,860 individuals, the project enables small-scale farmers to receive additional income from carbon credits and timber sales. The project’s climate impact is highly additional, with agroforestry neither financially viable nor common practice in the region. The project has been developed by the local government which should help to provide longevity to the removals the project has created.

Nature-based projects like this one face some risk of reversal. Carbon storage may be affected by natural hazards such as wildfires, flooding, and escalating climate change impacts. Additionally, human-driven factors such as changes in land use or local governance structures can also impact carbon storage.
