The Climate-Smart Land Use in ASEAN (CSLU) project builds on the successes of the preceding project on Forest and Climate Change under the former ASEAN German Programme on Response to Climate Change. The CSLU project is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in close cooperation with the ASEAN Secretariat.
The CSLU project continues to strengthen the ASEAN bodies in their coordinating role for driving forward international and national climate-policy processes for climate-smart land use. In doing so, it contributes to increasing resilience against and adaptation capacity for climate change, reducing or removing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increasing productivity and incomes in the agriculture and forestry sectors.
