What are community projects?
Community projects bring climate action into everyday life, through changes such as more efficient cooking and better access to clean water. Using less fuel helps reduce emissions and pressure on surrounding forests. Depending on the project, it can also mean cleaner air at home and less time spent collecting firewood.
