Building thriving lives and livelihoods on the frontlines of climate change
Across the world, people’s hard-won progress against poverty is being pushed back by climate change and environmental degradation. Floods, droughts, fires, pollution and conflict can undo years of forward movement.
Millions of people worldwide are just one shock away from disaster. Locally led, ambitious and sustainable solutions are urgently needed.
At Practical Action, we work with the people most affected by the intensifying environmental crises. We support communities to forge their own futures with solutions that foster resilience, create jobs and lasting prosperity.
For over 60 years, we have helped vulnerable communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America to develop climate-resilient livelihoods and tackle the economic and social barriers holding them back. Our focus on partnership allows us to share the benefits of local knowledge and ensure people drive their own destiny.
Together, we develop green and inclusive economies and put climate resilience into action to transform global futures.
Our approach has proven, life-changing results. Crops survive heat and drought, ensuring food security. Homes become more climate-resistant, protecting families and assets. Neighbourhoods get cleaner and healthier. Small businesses grow, creating jobs and local opportunity. People gain the confidence to plan for the future.
Our work is designed to continue having a long-term impact, long after our involvement ends.
Help us work with communities to tackle some of the world’s toughest problems.
