Building thriving lives and livelihoods on the frontlines of climate change
We’re a global community taking practical action against poverty and today’s environmental crises.
Across Africa, Asia and Latin America we partner with people experiencing these challenges, especially those who are unheard and excluded. Our approach is to identify what works on a local level, then adapt and amplify it across different regions, countries and continents.
All Practical Action’s work is focused on two connected areas for action – livelihoods and climate resilience – and we’re working to deliver three big, global changes:
For 60 years, we’ve worked alongside communities and local partners to turn local knowledge into practical solutions people can use and rely on. We test what works in real conditions, build the evidence from practice, then work with governments and decision makers to help proven approaches reach more people and last.
We’ve always been an organisation of problem-solvers. People who get things done. Now we’re upping our ambitions, because the stakes are higher. We are tackling complex and connected challenges with joined-up solutions that turn practical action into big change.
Help us work with communities to tackle some of the world’s toughest problems.
