Climate Adaptive Livelihoods
Empowering rural communities
Community Forests International creates solutions for the climate, forests, and rural communities. We know that some of our biggest challenges are also opportunities for growth. Community Forests International promotes climate-smart rural development, implementing projects that introduce, support, and commercialize appropriate technological innovations intended to enhance livelihoods in the face of climate change.
