Climate Resilience: Addressing Drought and Flood

IAAM - People's World Commission on Drought and Flood. (
Non-governmental organization (NGO)
)
#SDGAction50776
    Description
    Description

    The mission is to reduce climate risks of drought and flood and build resilient communities and economies through community-centered nature rejuvenation.

    • Reducing risks to life, livelihoods, and ecosystems while increasing resilience through community-led nature rejuvenation
    • Prepare an annual report to provides a summary of the state of floods and droughts
    • Encourage students to adopt more environmentally conscious

    Expected Impact

    First and foremost it will improve the chances of achieving SDG 6 and its components. Additionally rejuvenating rivers will also increase the water table, thus increasing the water available for irrigation and quality of water. This will increase livelihood opportunities and reduce the gender gap.
