The CJA program by YAGANET is a cornerstone of our commitment to climate justice. It focuses on promoting community-led actions to transform and reorient agricultural systems, ensuring food security and sustainable development in the face of climate change.
Interconnection to Climate Justice Intervention
Community-Led Actions: We believe that communities affected most by climate change possess valuable insights and solutions to mitigate its effects. By empowering and engaging these communities, we amplify their voices and actions in the global fight against climate change, ensuring that their needs and perspectives are at the forefront of climate justice efforts.
Addressing Root Causes: The CJA program tackles the root causes of global warming, including unsustainable agricultural practices that lead to environmental injustices. By promoting climate-smart agricultural techniques and sustainable land management practices, we contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change.
Support for Vulnerable Communities: Recognizing that poor communities are disproportionately affected by climate change, our program provides targeted support to help communities recover from the impacts of extreme weather events and other climate-related emergencies. This includes providing relief support and implementing climate adaptation strategies to build resilience in these communities.
Emergency Response: In times of climate-related emergencies, such as floods or droughts, we respond swiftly to provide relief support to affected communities. This includes distributing food, water, and other essential supplies, as well as implementing measures to help communities rebuild and recover from the effects of these disasters.
Advocacy on Inclusive Food, Nutrition and WASH Practices; YAGANET understands how climate change directly affects food security, nutrition, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices. As climate change causes more frequent and severe weather events, communities struggle more to access nutritious food, clean water, and proper sanitation. It’s crucial to research these climate impacts and advocate for inclusive practices to reduce them.
We aim to ensure that everyone in the community, especially vulnerable groups like women, youths, and children, has access to nutritious food, clean water, and good hygiene. This helps improve the health and well-being of communities even as the climate changes
By linking our CJA program to climate justice interventions, we aim to empower communities, promote sustainable agricultural practices, and build resilience to climate change, ensuring a more just and sustainable future for all.
