FACES OF PROGRESS

Climate change, migration crises, and gender inaction are pressing issues that can't wait

SNN advocates for and gives voice to numerous groups: migrants and refugees; those displaced by natural, climate, and civil unrest events; those whose lands have been taken or are at high risk of environmental damage; those whose right to food has not been realized; and those who have not benefited from economic development.

SNN STRIVES FOR RESULTS, INCLUDING: 

The systematic identification of context-specific risks from natural disasters, climate variability, and related social disruption, identifying people, cultures, and ecosystems at risk.

---

Solutions and strategies that incorporate gender, cultural, and rights perspectives to promote sustainable and equitable resilience building, risk mitigation and adaptation.

---

Positioning on global and national agendas solutions and lessons that inform policies and programs.

​Strengthened capacities through south-south and south-north cooperation, for emergency preparedness and response, disaster risk reduction and adaptation planning, through simulations, and training programs.
