Let’s build a climate resilient future, in a world that works better for everyone
Meet the climate pioneers
Around the world, communities are facing up to the challenges of climate change and thriving – even in the toughest conditions. With the support of people like you, and a little ingenuity, they are defying the odds. Meet some of the climate pioneers we’re working with…
Climate change won’t wait
We’ve arrived at a fork in the road and we need to join together to act, now.
Bikram Rana, who leads our flood resilience programme in Nepal, explains: “I have seen damaged infrastructure, strained water resources, food insecurity and biodiversity loss. If we don’t act, the situation will be disastrous.”
We have a choice. We can choose an approach that creates long-lasting positive impacts, enabling people to thrive despite the changing climate.
Bikram says: “Giving local communities a voice in the decisions that affect them, and introducing solutions that protect, restore, and sustainably manage nature, can reduce future climate impacts, support adaptation, and benefit people and planet.”
This is our chance to build a world that works better for everyone.
