Environment

People live in sustainable environment

The environment is an indispensable part of the human experience. The impact of the environment circumstances on us, especially in the ever-worsening climate change, can no longer be overlooked. The international community has already began cooperating, starting with the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 and the Paris Climate Convention in 2015, to slow down climate change.

However, responding to climate change is an immense challenge for the poor, who are the biggest victims. Obtaining daily fuel for cooking is a higher priority than preserving forests that prevent landslides and depletion of drinking water. However, the damaged forest increases their vulnerability and consequently cost them more in the long run. It makes the life of the people even harder.

Our environment work focuses on the following two areas :

Promoting environment protection by people
Environment protection cannot be achieved without people’s participation. We raise people’s awareness of climate change by providing opportunities to learn about what it is and what actions to take. In addition, we assist people to build eco-friendly and high quality housing and improve the neighborhood to promote sustainable human settlement.

Achieving the sustainable use of resources
Unless communities work together for sustainable resource use, it may not be possible. We support communities to develop community-based natural resource management. Accordingly, we help communities to increase capacity for efficient use and recycling of resources.
