What We Do

The risks and effects of climate change are not shared equally. The communities that have contributed least to global emissions are bearing the harshest consequences, while those most responsible remain relatively shielded from them. Advancing climate resilience requires  leadership from the most affected communities to shape solutions, along with expertise and resources from global organizations. We partner across the full range of actors – helping translate global directives into local action.

How Our Work Takes Shape

  • Strengthening climate and health systems: Building the evidence base and implementation pathways for climate-resilient health systems, and addressing rising climate-health burdens with locally grounded approaches.
  • Building climate-resilient agriculture: Designing scalable, farmer-led strategies that help agricultural systems adapt to climate change, ensuring farmers are central to decision-making and benefit-sharing.
  • Advancing local and regional climate solutions: Supporting community-driven adaptation models and equitable investment strategies, co-developing solutions with grassroots actors, and elevating underrepresented voices in global climate platforms.

We’re working toward a future where the communities bearing the greatest burden of climate change have the power and resources to lead the response.
