AGAFI believes and committee towards nature based ideas, approaches and solution! That is why strategically based at grassroots level.
The twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss are having a significant impact on communities globally. Nature-based solutions for adaptation can address these challenges and provide widespread benefits for human well-being and biodiversity. But what does this approach look like for the communities involved? From cultivating seeds to planting resistant trees, locally driven nature based ideas and solutions are the best and most sustainable.
The best way to achieve this is to support locally led and locally driven ideas because no one understands the challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss better than those who experience it firsthand. Locals and Indigenous Peoples are best positioned to explain how these challenges affect them and what solutions will work in their unique contexts, given their in-depth knowledge of their communities. Interventions such as these also promote sustainability and participation; when communities and local groups are involved from the start, they are more likely to take ownership, resulting in long-lasting benefits.
