Goal 4: Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning
Education is the key that will allow many other Sustainable Development Goals to be achieved. When people have access to get quality education they can break from the cycle of poverty. Education therefore helps to reduce inequalities, promote gender equality, and empowers people to live healthier and more sustainable lives.
By supporting high quality carbon finance projects, businesses can deliver essential emission reductions and support low carbon sustainable development in areas most in need.
Example carbon finance project activities that aim to promote educational access:
- Enable the provision of additional study groups and educational youth club programmes to raise awareness on the importance of forest protection (Target 4.7)
- Provide training on biodiversity assessments to empower and equip communities with the necessary skills to conserve their local forests (Target 4.7)
- Strengthen business capacity and financial security through community micro-enterprise programmes and training for improved livelihoods to reduce community dependence on extractive income generating activities (Targets 4.4 and 4.7)
Projects that align with SDG 4: Quality education
A number of carbon finance projects support households and communities to access training programmes to improve existing and develop new skills and knowledge.
Below are a sample of such projects. If you'd like to find out more about a particular project, follow the link.
