Climate Justice & Inclusion.
At CRDI, our mission is to promote climate resilience and sustainable development through capacity building, education awareness, community engagement, and advocacy, with a strong focus on inclusive climate justice. We are dedicated to ensuring that marginalized communities—including people with disabilities, women, young women, indigenous peoples, and economically disadvantaged groups—are an integral part to the fight against climate change. Addressing the intersection and mainstreaming of climate resilience and social inclusion in everything that we do, and implement is essential for achieving equitable and sustainable progress.
Our Approach.
1. Capacity Building for Inclusive Climate Resilience
We offer tailored training programs and workshops designed to empower marginalized communities to design, develop and implement resilience strategies. Our approach encompasses community centered priorities in view of their contextual living environment.
Our capacity building efforts include:
• Education and Awareness: Increasing understanding of the specific challenges and needs faced by marginalized groups in the context of climate change and how climate change is mainstreamed in their daily lives.
• Skills Development: Providing individuals from marginalized communities with the knowledge, necessary skills and abilities to create and implement inclusive climate adaptation and mitigation plans.
• Policy Advocacy: Assisting local and national policymakers in incorporating inclusive approaches into climate policies and initiatives, ensuring marginalized voices are represented and considered.
2. Educational Initiatives.
Our educational initiatives aim to deepen the understanding of the connections between climate change and social inclusion. We offer:
• Curriculum Development: Producing and distributing educational materials that emphasize the importance of including marginalized groups in climate resilience efforts.
• Workshops and Seminars: Hosting events that bring together experts, stakeholders, and community members to share knowledge and best practices on inclusive climate justice.
• Youth Engagement: Engaging young people from marginalized communities in discussions and activities to nurture a new generation of leaders committed to inclusive climate justice.
3. Community Engagement
We believe that community engagement is key to driving meaningful change. Our efforts include:
• Building Alliances: Creating partnerships with local, national, private sector and international organizations that are committed to inclusive climate resilience.
• Community Networks: Developing networks of individuals and local organizations from marginalized communities to exchange ideas, resources, and support.
• Local Initiatives: Working directly with local organizations and communities to design and implement localized climate resilience projects that address their specific needs.
4. Advocacy for Inclusive Policies.
We actively advocate for policies that promote climate justice and inclusion. Our advocacy efforts include:
• Policy Development: Collaborating with policymakers, private sector and other organizations to develop and promote policies that ensure marginalized groups are included in climate resilience planning and decision-making.
• Public Awareness Campaigns: Running campaigns to raise public awareness about the importance of inclusive climate justice.
• Global Platforms: Participating in regional and international forums to advocate for inclusive climate policies and share insights and best practices related to marginalized groups.
Impact and Outcomes
Our initiatives aim to:
• Enhance Resilience: Strengthen the ability of marginalized communities and local organizations to endure and recover from climate impacts.
