Climate change

We partner with communities to boost their climate resilience and protect their natural resources. Because people living in the world’s poorest countries shouldn’t have to bear the brunt of climate change.

Climate change is not just about global warming

In fact, global warming is just the tip of the iceberg. Climate change acts as a humanitarian threat multiplier, exacerbating issues like gender inequality and hunger.

The UN estimates 80% of those displaced by climate change are women and girls. Additionally, extreme weather events jeopardize global food security, pushing 248 million people towards severe hunger.

Climate change and sustainable development

We collaborate with communities to restore damaged environments, protect healthy ones and build stronger, healthier ecosystems.

Our key climate action programs include:

Sustainable livelihoods: training people in climate-smart agriculture (e.g., crop diversification, beekeeping, water harvesting) to build resilient livelihoods in climate-affected areas.
Land restoration: teaching communities about Farmer-Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) to replenish land with trees and plants.
Youth advocacy: empowering children and youth to voice their concerns through forums and training for local and national advocacy.
