Practical action on
Climate resilience
Climate resilience is about people being able to pursue their lives and ambitions despite a changing climate.
As temperatures rise and rainfall patterns shift, communities must adapt over time, not simply recover from shocks. Without this, hard-won progress in health, education and livelihoods is easily undone.
We embed climate resilience into everyday decisions, systems and services. We work with communities, institutions and governments to plan for long-term climate stresses, adapt livelihoods and infrastructure, and manage natural resources sustainably. This includes strengthening local governance, integrating climate risk into development planning, and ensuring adaptation reflects the priorities of those most affected.
Our approach includes:
- Early Warning Systems: Designing alerts that are timely, trusted, and easy to act on.
- Nature-Based Solutions: Restoring ecosystems to reduce disaster risk and improve incomes.
By treating resilience as part of development, rather than a response to disaster, we help create conditions where people can continue to invest, grow and thrive in a changing climate.
