Taking action against climate change in Afghanistan
For villages in remote rural Afghanistan, climate change is a very real and current threat; increasing instances of natural disasters and extreme weather damages the natural resource base and puts families’ lives at risk.
In this project, Afghanaid will support communities to restore and reinvigorate their local ecosystems, improve the management of their land, promote sustainable agriculture and increase vegetation cover, in order to strengthen both the farmers’ livelihoods and the land against future disasters and the changing climate, boost agricultural productivity and income and build a more sustainable future for their communities.
The project is supported with 2 840 000 SEK
