We can take climate action
Together
Climate change is destroying lives and livelihoods. We know positive change is possible. You can help make it happen for people on the frontline of the crisis.
A big opportunity to create change
The climate challenge demands a shared effort like we’ve never seen before.
Our experience has shown us that when the right people come together and pool practical skills and knowledge, amazing things are possible. From overcoming droughts, to re-greening deserts.
It’s already happening for Suliman (pictured) in North Darfur, Sudan. Climate change is causing longer and more frequent droughts. But a combination of solutions including improved dams to capture water, better irrigation systems and planet-friendly farming techniques, is bringing the once-arid land back to life.
Now Suliman’s community are building a climate resilient future, despite the challenges.
“Climate change has brought many challenges for us. But the new farming techniques I’ve learned make me feel more confident.”
– Suliman Hamen Abull , local farmer, Majzoub
See what’s possible when we work together
Suliman’s story is proof that small solutions can create big change. If all of us take practical climate action – from reducing our impact on the planet, to supporting people on the frontline – we can tackle the crisis together.
We know it’s possible. With the right plans and approaches in place, people can withstand sudden storms and floods. And they can make long-term changes to cope with more frequent droughts, and less predictable weather patterns.
Your gift can provide practical support to communities around the world, so they can adapt to the challenges of climate change and build bright, resilient futures.
With your support we can work with more people, like Suliman, and spread success. Are you in?
JOIN THE TEAM MAKING CHANGE HAPPEN
We believe in possible
We know that ingenuity can tackle the world’s toughest problems. We’ve worked with communities to prove it’s possible to:
- Turn desert into lush fields in Sudan, so farmers can thrive despite climate change
- Replant areas of rainforest in Peru, so coffee growers can succeed sustainably
- Turn plastic waste into fuel in Bangladesh, cleaning up slums and rivers and creating jobs
It’s what we’ve been doing for over 50 years.
But we need to do more
People living in poor communities have never faced such a tough reality.
- Climate change has caused an increase in devastating floods, storms and landslides. We can help communities avoid disaster.
- Permanent changes to temperature and rainfall are making farming almost impossible. We can help farmers adapt and thrive.
- The long term impact of coronavirus is pushing millions deeper into poverty. We can help create jobs, improve incomes and boost businesses.
You support will help make this possible.
