What does it mean to be climate resilient?

It means people and communities come together to prepare, adapt, and
thrive in the face of climate change’s harsh realities — and it’s what
Mercy Corps is helping communities build in countries across the globe.

In 2023, we launched Climate: Possible, a bold campaign to empower
communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Since then, we’ve
reached 11.2 million people with our climate initiatives.

Preparing for flooding in Nepal

[ [link removed] ]In 2008, a devastating flood in Badabaika left over half of the
community homeless and caused severe soil erosion. Mercy Corps has
since helped create a Community Disaster Management Committee, which
  led the way in building climate resilience. Together, residents  
constructed bamboo spurs to redirect river flow, protecting their
village from erosion and flooding. Today, women lead the effort to
maintain these spurs, planting kans grasses along the river and
raising funds for emergency management.
 


Harnessing technology to support farmers in Guatemala

[ [link removed] ]In Solola, Mercy Corps is providing supplies and training to
farmers on ways to adapt to climate change, such as how to cultivate
drought-resistant crops like chayote. We’ve also helped farmers learn
  how to use an app that provides climate forecasts, so farmers can make  
better informed decisions about what to plant and when and how to
manage their crops. With these resources, farmer incomes have
increased by 10% on average.
 


Expanding renewable energy in Ethiopia

[ [link removed] ]A common challenge for refugees and displaced people is the lack
of access to modern energy services, which severely impacts their
health, education, and livelihoods. In Ethiopia, Mercy Corps helped
  establish a private utility company, Humanitarian Energy, to deliver  
the country’s first private solar-powered mini-grid to refugee and
host communities in Sheder Refugee Camp. We are supplying electricity
to more than 1,000 households and businesses, including a hospital.
 


These are just a few of the examples
of how we’re creating lasting climate resilience in the communities where
we work. But it wouldn’t be possible without supporters like you.

Thank you for your commitment to building a stronger and more resilient
world.

Sincerely,

David Nicholson
Chief Climate Officer
