Climate Change

Climate change and environmental degradation are critical challenges of our times. Not only do they threaten the habitability of the planet in long term, but affect communities who live on the margins in more significant way, in the form of droughts, water shortages, flooding, loss of livelihoods, and harmful health effects. AID  supports projects related to environmental sustainability, justice, and empowering marginalized communities to protect air, water, and land from being polluted.
