Climate Action

Climate Action for the future: Promoting climate resilience through locally led, gender-sensitive and ecosystem-based solutions

Resilience

integrated approach
Our projects boost community and ecosystem resilience by enhancing adaptive capacity to the climate crisis, food sovereignty, biodiversity and ecosystem services. We aim to address structural inequalities as key drivers of vulnerability.

Climate Justice

at all levels
Advocating for socially just solutions addressing climate change that recognize the needs, priorities and rights of affected populations

Empowering communities

good governance
We prioritize community-led climate adaptation and environmental stewardship, promoting knowledge exchange between traditional and scientific sources. Our focus is on building governance, advocacy, and resource management capacities in partner organisations like farmers' cooperatives.

Our Audience

Individuals

We empower individuals to address climate change and build resilient livelihoods through awareness, knowledge sharing, and skills training. We also support individuals and households with eco-friendly businesses and promote energy and resource efficiency.
