The Ecopreneur Movement: Miombo Woodland Restoration, Zambia

Discover this new community-led carbon initiative in Zambia which is set to remove up to 2 million tonnes of CO₂ annually by 2030. By harnessing climate finance, the project will enable 240,000 Zambians to build more resilient, sustainable livelihoods while also restoring degraded landscapes. Developed by Community Climate Solutions (CCS) and brought to market by Climate Impact Partners, The Ecopreneur Movement: Miombo Woodland Restoration Project is driven by local communities and farmers, who both benefit from and drive environmental change. Rural farmers, trained and supported as “Ecopreneurs”, are restoring Zambia’s degraded Miombo Woodlands – a critical carbon sink – through tree planting, sustainable farming, and fire prevention, creating lasting environmental and economic resilience.
