Climate Resilience
Helping communities act before disaster strikes, not just recover after.
Acting Early Saves Lives and Livelihoods
Climate shocks like floods and droughts are hitting the same vulnerable communities again and again, often compounding conflicts and crises that are already underway. Waiting for disaster to strike before responding costs both lives and money our Climate Resilience programs are built to act before the worst happens, not just clean up after.
We use forecasting tools combining weather data, satellite information and local knowledge to predict floods and droughts before they hit, triggering anticipatory cash assistance that lets families prepare in advance. Evidence shows this approach works: households given cash ahead of a flood take real protective steps, like harvesting crops early, reinforcing homes, or stockpiling food, and recover faster than those who only receive help after disaster strikes.
Alongside anticipatory action, we help farming communities adapt for the long term introducing climate-resilient seeds, sustainable agricultural techniques, and training that helps households withstand shocks that are becoming more frequent and more severe. Because true resilience means a community that's ready for the next crisis, not just recovering from the last one.
How We Build Climate Resilience
