In Ayuda en Acción we're orienting our interventions towards more environmentally sustainable programmes and we have aligned our strategy with the 2030 Agenda, to adapt to climate change in the rural areas for providing food security, access to water & energy in a sustainable way.Marta Marañón - Ayuda en Acción
Many NGOs have developed strategies to adapt to climate change within our programmes but this is not enough. We need also mitigation strategies within our organizations. Large NGOs must be environmentally sustainable and responsible as well as the corporates and the citizens. Marta Marañón - Ayuda en Acción
