Environment & Climate Change and Gender &an  Gender

 

Concerns regarding the global (natural and built) environmental increase year-on-year, with all most solutions only being solved locally. From the impacts of our global changing climate, the quality of the air we breathe and water we drink, to the challenges of dealing with deforestation, waste management, energy and meeting the competing demands on our natural spaces, environmental issues impact on us all.  The poor are disproportionately affected by environmental degradation and lack of access to clean, affordable energy services. Geopolicity assists  countries in strengthening their capacity to address these challenges at the global, national and community levels, seeking out and sharing best practices, providing innovative policy advice and linking partners through pilot projects.  Moreover, given the linkages between human population, poverty and environmental degradation well established, we believe that local solutions and technological transfers combined, can go a long way to improving the ecological balance. 

One of our central objectives is to support evidence-based approaches (also linked to the SDGs), with a focus on improving the impact of policy, public and private spending, on environmental out turns.  As a result, a bottom-up field based approach that links local and national planning is critical to all our engagement.
