About us

Bottom up approach

We pay particular attention to groups that are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

We believe in a top-to-bottom approach, empowering communities from the grassroots up. 

By engaging with communities, we foster a sense of ownership in climate adaptation and resilience efforts.  Our approach harnesses their knowledge and capacity to drive effective climate adaptation at all levels.

This approach not only strengthens local resilience but also informs national and international strategies for climate adaptation.

Collaborations

Recognizing that climate change knows no boundaries, we collaborate regionally and internationally to find holistic solutions to global climate challenges.

Holistic Approach

We recognize the interconnectedness of climate adaptation with various sectors, from agriculture to health. We address climate challenges by considering the bigger picture.We tackle climate adaptation comprehensively, addressing not only environmental aspects but also socio-economic factors.

This approach ensures resilience from all angles.We find the delicate balance between preserving nature and enhancing the well-being of communities. We believe both are essential for long-term climate adaptation.
By adopting a holistic perspective, we build sustainable systems that endure climate challenges, promoting resilience at all levels, from ecosystems to societies.

 

Global Perspective

We maintain a global perspective, understanding that climate change is a global challenge that requires cooperation and solutions that transcend borders.

We actively participate in international climate forums and negotiations to represent African voices especially those of vulnerable groups. Our goal is to influence policies that address the unique challenges faced by the continent on climate resilience and adaptation. 

We advocate for equitable climate policies that consider the diverse needs and capacities of Africa, emphasizing fair and just solutions.
