Enabling Resilient Systems
We have undertaken multiple projects involving Climate Landscape Analysis for Children (CLAC) across countries to assess climate impacts on vulnerable populations. Our work has supported the development of targeted adaptation strategies, including the creation of a Climate Resilient Framework for WASH services and the integration of gender mainstreaming into national climate commitments (NDCs).
