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.

Advocacy that makes complex climate, DRR, and sustainable social and economic development issues accessible to a range of diverse stakeholders, including communities, civil society, and local and national governments.

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.
