Climate Change & Natural Resource Management
Food security in developing countries is particularly threatened by climate change attributed to greenhouse gas emissions. Some of the world’s most vulnerable populations—women, farmers, and children in rural areas—are feeling the impacts.
Across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, Abt uses Climate-Smart Development to mitigate these impacts. Climate-Smart Development promotes resilient farming systems that sustainably raise incomes, conserve the environment, and improve health.
Abt encourages the use of innovative technologies that are equally accessible to women and men to increase the production and availability of highly nutritious foods.
Our climate-change services are enhanced by our ability to weave in Abt’s cross-cutting international expertise in agricultural development, health systems, environmental management, economics, and modeling.
