Who does Twice As Green help?

The world’s poorest countries and people are most at risk from climate change...
Communities living in poverty have their problems compounded by climate change. Lack of resources means they are less capable of coping with natural disasters. Their reliance on the land is often more pronounced so when conditions deteriorate they can’t grow crops, access water and food, or generate income.

Creating sustainable agricultural and environmental practices is an essential part of reducing global poverty.
