Integrated Village Development Trust has been working
in India for twenty years and has already begun to see the effects of climate
change. The people in our project areas, often the poorest in India, are
the ones who suffer first and worst. Our projects are designed to help protect
these people against the effects of climate change, and to give them the
tools to provide a long-term future for themselves, their families and their
communities.
MANGRO helps by planting
mangrove and other trees, by helping communities prevent and prepare for
diaster and by helping people to inprove their economic situation.
EMCOR & EIEIO (Educsation
in Environment Issues, Orissa) raise levels of awareness of environmental
issues so that vulnerable communitites are more likely to protect their
environment.
In the UK, IVDT campaigns tirelessly for the reduction of carbon emissions,
particularly in the build-up to Coenhagen, in an effort to protect those
with whom we work in India. We feel passionately that we must all substantially
reduced our carbon footprint. Please help us by reducing yours.
