Environment and Climate Change

Conserving natural resources is a basic requirement for sustainable development and improving the quality of human life. Understanding the problem of fresh water scarcity begins by considering the distribution of water on the planet. Approximately 98% of our water is salty and only 2% is fresh. Of that 2%, almost 70% is snow and ice, 30% is groundwater, less than 0.5% is surface water (lakes, rivers, etc) and less than 0.05% is in the atmosphere. Climate change has several effects on these proportions on a global scale. Fresh water is crucial to human society – not just for drinking, but also for farming, washing and many other activities. It is expected to become increasingly scarce in the future, and this is partly due to climate change.

We help interlinking individuals and institutions with the environment and natural resources so that we can support them to efficiently incorporate environmental and climate change concerns into their development projects. We build the capacities of our clients, stakeholders and vulnerable groups to make them aware of environmental issues and effects of climate change in their lives, specially the youngsters and children.

We form need based project teams that mainly consist of subject experts who have a decent understanding of the institutional framework and local circumstances of the area, to provide better consulting services.
