 The world's most urgent  

 sustainability challenge 

 

In India, farmers face a double threat of climate catastophe compounded by language exclusion. Those most affected are often the least able to speak out. 

We put communities who face the worst climate impacts at the center of our solutions. When we listen to marginalized voices and connect people with locally-relevant, clear, accurate and up-to-date resources, we can create inclusive, sustainable climate action.
