Parties to the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement recognize that adaptation is a global concern faced by all, with local, national, regional and international dimensions. The adaptive and mitigating capacity of communities to cope with the negative effects of climate change is essential to include in programmatic responses, and a key component of the long-term response aimed at protecting people, livelihoods and ecosystems; thus, this objective will be reached through a community-driven approach. The Aghsan Foundation acknowledges that adaptation and mitigation initiatives should follow a context-driven, local, gender/age/diversity-responsive, participatory and fully transparent approach based on needs and risk assessments, considering vulnerable and marginalized groups, communities and ecosystems. To fulfill our role and remain relevant to the people we serve, Aghsan Foundation’s field operations are adapting programmatic responses to these realities. Within the scope of the Aghsan Foundation’s mandate and response framework, the Aghsan Foundation’s core competencies lie within five core sectors.
