Climate Action
Building climate resilience, advancing green technologies, and protecting Africa's environment for current and future generations.
Why This Matters
Africa contributes the least to climate change yet bears its heaviest burden.
Africa is responsible for less than 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet the continent is disproportionately vulnerable to climate impacts. Rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and extreme weather events threaten food systems, water security, and millions of livelihoods.
By 2050, climate change could push an additional 86 million Africans into internal migration. Agricultural yields may decline by up to 30%, exacerbating food insecurity in a continent already home to one-third of the world's food-insecure people.
Yet Africa also holds immense potential for climate solutions -- from the Congo Basin rainforest (the world's second-largest carbon sink) to vast renewable energy resources. With the right investments, Africa can leapfrog dirty development and become a leader in green growth.

Our Approach
We combine grassroots resilience building with advocacy for systemic climate justice.
Community Resilience
We empower communities to anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to climate impacts through early warning systems, diversified livelihoods, and climate-smart practices.
Green Technology
We accelerate the adoption of clean energy, efficient cooking, and sustainable technologies that reduce emissions while improving quality of life.
Ecosystem Restoration
We work with communities to restore degraded forests, protect watersheds, and manage natural resources sustainably for long-term ecological health.
Programs & Initiatives
From tree planting to policy advocacy, our climate programs protect Africa's future.
Community Climate Resilience Program
Building adaptive capacity in vulnerable communities through early warning systems, climate-smart agriculture, and disaster preparedness training.
Green Technology Adoption Initiative
Facilitating the adoption of clean cookstoves, solar water heaters, biogas digesters, and other green technologies that reduce emissions and improve lives.
Reforestation & Ecosystem Restoration
Partnering with communities to restore degraded landscapes through tree planting, watershed protection, and sustainable land management practices.
Climate Policy Advocacy Hub
Amplifying African voices in global climate negotiations and supporting the development of national climate policies that protect vulnerable populations.
