Climate-Smart Agriculture
Helping smallholder farmers raise productivity and income while adapting to a changing climate.
Climate, Environment, Renewable Energy & Resilience
Communities that adapt, thrive and power their own growth.
Why it matters
We help communities adapt to a changing climate, protect their environment and use clean energy productively.
Climate change hits hardest where livelihoods depend on rain, land and fragile infrastructure. Clean, reliable energy is also one of the strongest drivers of local enterprise.
How we approach it
- Pair adaptation with livelihoods so resilience pays for itself.
- Move beyond household lighting to the productive use of energy.
- Help communities and local institutions plan for and reduce disaster risk.
Focus areas
- Climate Adaptation & MitigationReducing vulnerability and emissions at community level.
- Climate ResilienceSystems and households that withstand and recover from shocks.
- Renewable EnergyAccess to clean, decentralised energy.
- Productive Use of EnergyEnergy that powers enterprise, agriculture and services.
- Environmental SustainabilityStewardship of land, water and natural resources.
