CLIMATE CHANGE COLLABORATIVE (C3)

The C3 Projects Initiative

In 2021, EECG and civil society organizations (CSOs) in Southeast Asia and Africa introduced a new collaborative network strategy to mitigate and adapt to local climate change threats. EECG awarded these partners financial support to initiate action ideas on-the-ground; the projects are known as Climate Change Collaborative (C3) projects:

C3 Projects Summary Table 2021-25

The project provided a platform for local communities living in Zanskar to become self-reliant and capable of finding solutions to challenges posed by climate change. The main project activity was organising a conference in which local villagers learned about the challenges posed by climate change and ways to adapt. The second main activity was the formation of a water management network consisting of 10 participants from the conference, along with subject matter experts who were then trained on identifying sites for building ice reservoirs.
