Trees for Global Benefits – Uganda

A person from behind planting a seedling

About the project

Trees for Global Benefits (TGB) is a long-running cooperative carbon project in Uganda which combines community-led activities to increase carbon sequestration, encourage sustainable land-use practices, and provide farmers with performance-based payments.

In addition to farmers’ direct payments for planting trees and climate mitigation, the project contributes to income stability, food security, and fuel security at community level.

We have benefitted a lot: I have cows, I have pigs down here, we have bees and we drink milk and honey. I am so happy that we have made 20 years of TGB, it has really been a long journey.
