Our Strategy

Resilience, Adaptation, Mitigation

Climate change presents significant challenges to ecosystems, livelihoods and national development. We respond through a comprehensive programme that strengthens climate resilience, promotes adaptation strategies and supports mitigation efforts.

Our Approach →

Vulnerable Communities

Working with those most dependent on natural resources.

Local + Scientific

Combining local knowledge with scientific evidence.

Inclusive Action

Grounded in real-world community experience.

THREE PILLARS

How we respond to climate change

A comprehensive programme built on three interconnected strategies for climate action

Climate Resilience

Building the adaptive capacity of vulnerable communities to withstand climate variability and shocks

Adaptation Strategies

Developing practical solutions that help people and ecosystems adjust to climate impacts

Mitigation Efforts

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions through sustainable practices and clean technologies

HOW WE WORK

Practical solutions grounded in science and community

Applied Research

Conduct field studies on climate trends and community needs to guide effective action

Community Engagement

Work directly with vulnerable communities to co-design climate solutions that fit their needs

Policy Dialogue

Translate evidence into national and local decision-making for lasting impact

Community tree planting and climate action

ON THE GROUND

Building adaptive communities

Enhance Adaptive Capacity

Strengthen community ability to respond and adjust to climate impacts

Promote Climate-Smart Practices

Introduce sustainable agriculture, water management, and livelihood strategies

Support Sustainable Resource Management

Enable communities to manage land and resources in ways that build resilience

By combining local knowledge with scientific evidence, we contribute to climate-informed decision-making at both community and national levels, ensuring that climate action is inclusive, responsive, and grounded in real-world experience.
