The work on the Trust responds to challenges emerging from the climate crisis and weak natural resource governance in southern Africa.
We work with communities in resource-rich areas, non-governmental organisations, civil society organisations, and human rights defenders to protect their land and livelihoods from the destruction caused by climate change and to prevent natural resource depletion for equitable benefit.
We support stakeholder engagements to advocate for policy changes at the national and regional levels reflecting the priorities and demands of marginalised communities and citizen groups for climate change and natural resource management, including post-COVID/climate change recovery plans.
