£1,000 would give 60 women from the most climate-affected villages entrepreneurial training so that they can develop adaptive livelihoods.
£2,000 would train 120 young people to learn how to create clean energy technology for their communities and families.
£3,000 would train 160 local climate champions, who can provide agricultural advice and support to farmers in climate-affected communities.
£5,000 would provide 120 people with the disaster preparedness training needed to co-ordinate village-level emergency responses, develop local evacuation plans, recruit fire and flood wardens and ultimately build knowledge that could potentially save hundreds of lives in a disaster.
“The Background”
For the world’s poorest communities, climate change is a devastating daily reality that constantly threatens their lives, homes and livelihoods. Poverty and discrimination forces these people to the geographic edges of society, where the land is less stable and more exposed to environmental extremes. As a result, those already struggling are also the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
For many of these communities, manual agriculture on small plots has been the only source of income for centuries. However, even generations of specialised local knowledge can’t contend with the recent and unprecedented shifts in weather. They urgently need access to science-based agricultural innovations and mitigation strategies to build resilience against this growing threat. Without such support, future generations simply cannot survive the coming decades.
“The GBM Basin”
The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) Basin and river system spans five countries and is seven times larger than the UK. Home to 10% of the world’s population, this unique and fragile ecosystem is a lifeline for the families living there, with small-scale farming as their main source of food and income.
“Effects of Climate Change”
The GBM Basin region is among the world’s most vulnerable to climate change, which affects 630 million people across India, Bangladesh and Nepal every year.
Most of those living there are farmers living in severe poverty. Already excluded from basic services like education and healthcare, they depend on predictable weather patterns for survival. However, these patterns are rapidly deteriorating, leaving them with fewer resources and greater uncertainty.
Climate change in the basin has also intensified the frequency and severity of natural disasters. Rising temperatures are accelerating the melting of the Himalayan glaciers, while deforestation has reduced the landscape’s ability to absorb water, exacerbating monsoons and floods. These disasters don’t just destroy land and livelihoods—they claim lives. In just one of our project areas, 40% of the population has already been lost. And the situation is only worsening.
Without immediate action, these communities face a future where their land can no longer sustain them, and entire generations risk being wiped out.
Individuals supported to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change through sustainable farming techniques and disaster preparedness training, strengthening the resilience, safety and food security of the most vulnerable communities.
“The Solution”
Climate change is already here. While we can’t undo the past, we can work together to build a better future for those suffering its effects—and for the generations yet to come.
By harnessing natural resources and combining local knowledge with cutting-edge scientific expertise, we can make a significant difference in the lives of thousands of families. Our commitment to community-centred, sustainable solutions allows us to offer the tailored support that other approaches cannot.
Our work focuses on three key areas:
Adaptive Agriculture and Nature-based Solutions:
Thousands are struggling to feed their families. By introducing climate-adaptive agricultural techniques, we can regenerate the land and quickly improve food security. These regenerative practices will restore soil health, enhancing current livelihoods and creating opportunities for new, more resilient forms of income. We will also pilot clean energy technologies to provide sustainable power to isolated villages. This initiative will begin with 9,000 smallholder farmers, including 3,000 women.
Protecting Ecosystems and Disaster Mitigation:
A restored environment and empowered local communities are essential for reducing climate vulnerability. By restoring critical ecosystems and planting trees that support the environment, we can drastically lower the risk of climate-related disasters. Additionally, by helping communities develop local mitigation strategies—such as evacuation planning, flood and fire warden recruitment, and land management—they can lead and build resilience independently.
Community-Driven Governance:
Creating lasting impact requires local engagement and momentum. By involving local governments and promoting skills transfer, we can ensure the benefits ripple throughout society, creating a legacy of resilience and innovation long into the future.
“What can I do?”
We cannot do everything needed to solve climate change—but we can do something. We can support those most affected today and, in doing so, plant the seeds for a more resilient tomorrow.
If we can raise £70,000 we can support over 51,000 people across 3 countries to build sustainable solutions to climate change, restore local ecosystems and protect themselves against future disasters.
We need your support to do that.
