Climate change is increasingly affecting agriculture, water resources, biodiversity, ecosystems, infrastructure and community livelihoods. Communities that depend directly on natural resources and climate-sensitive economic activities can face particularly significant risks.
Mazingira Yetu promotes practical approaches that help communities and institutions understand climate risks and develop appropriate responses. Our work brings together local knowledge, scientific evidence, planning and appropriate technologies to strengthen resilience.
Our climate action focuses on areas such as climate vulnerability and risk assessments, climate adaptation and mitigation, community-based and ecosystem-based adaptation, climate resilience planning, nature-based solutions, afforestation and reforestation, climate awareness and climate-risk mapping.
We believe that effective climate action begins with understanding risks and continues through planning, adaptation, mitigation, monitoring and learning.
