WELCOME TO ​SOUTH NORTH NEXUS!

​​
JOIN US IN OUR EFFORTS TO HELP CHILDREN IN UKRAINE

The Russian invasion has forced over 5 million people to flee their homes and country.  And over 7 million people are displaced within Ukraine.  Kopychyntsi is a municipality located in the western part of Ukraine which became a shelter for many internally displaced people escaping war.
In April, South North Nexus supported the hospital in Kopychynsti with medical supplies.  Today we want to equip a community center for students, with spaces for stress reduction through arts and games, and a day care area for internally displaced children. 
​Help us send emergency funds to Ukraine and other crises in the world. 
We will match your gift for peace.

VISION

SNN is a platform that represents innovative solutions, equity and social justice for all, with special attention to the most vulnerable. We are committed to global development that sustainably protects livelihoods, communities and the planet.

Today the challenges are great and urgent. It is up to each of us as global citizens to find and share solutions that build resilience in the face of climate shocks, promote dignity for those furthest behind, and guarantee access to basic human rights, including food, water, shelter, health, and education.

Essential is developing a common understanding, among communities, organizations, private sector and individuals, that we face shared problems and their consequences. SNN seeks to be a catalyst for dialogue between the South and the North, and for South-South cooperation.
​
Together we can positively shape our shared future!

Climate change is real, and disasters are more frequent and intense. SNN works with a range of stakeholders to address climate shocks (migratory, environmental, social, economic), drawing attention to risks and the most vulnerable, especially women and children.

SOCIAL JUSTICE & MIGRATION

Inequality is on the rise worldwide and climate change is contributing with over 21 million people impacted each year; more than 70 million are displaced worldwide as a result of conflict and or human rights violations. SNN brings together communities, civil society and policy makers to advocate for those whose voices are not heard.

DIALOGUE & LEARNING

SNN brings together diverse stakeholders to share experiences and promote collaborative solutions to complex problems. SNN is a convener that promotes change in attitudes, fostering exchange, locally adapted solutions, strengthened capacities, and the nexus between traditional knowledge and contemporary science.

FOOD SYSTEMS & WATER MANAGEMENT

Access to affordable and healthy foods for all requires rethinking how food systems and water resources are managed. SNN fosters knowledge sharing, identifying effective, collaborative strategies across bioregions.

GENDER EMPOWERMENT

Context-specific solutions start with the moral obligation to act, promoting respect for cultures and gender roles. SNN stresses inclusion, rights for all, and the need to address gender-based violence.
