Our work on resilient society places social vulnerability at the centre. We focus on locally led adaptation and tracking adaptation solutions on the ground that are scalable, systemic and involve the community.

Urban Informality
Urban informal housing and work contexts are especially vulnerable to climate change due to poor infrastructure, lack of services, and political disenfranchisement. Locally led solutions are essential for developing effective climate adaptation strategies for rising heat, urban floods and extreme weather events.

Health impact of Climate, particularly on vulnerable social groups
Smallholder farmers depend on rain-fed agriculture and are highly vulnerable to changing weather patterns, prolonged droughts, and unpredictable rainfall. Innovative strategies and policies are needed to support smallholder farmers in adapting to climate variability and ensuring food security.

Indigenous knowledge/ groups
Livelihoods of indigenous groups are closely tied to their natural environment. It is essential to empower these communities by honoring their traditional knowledge and ensuring their active participation in adaptation decision-making.

Rural livelihoods
Addressing the unique vulnerabilities of women, children, and the elderly requires a comprehensive understanding of the specific risks they face, along with tailored interventions that enhance their capacity to cope with and adapt to climate-related challenges.
