Climate Resilience

Supporting communities to address the challenges and opportunities of climate change and contribute to a healthy planet.

The Aga Khan Foundation collaborates with communities to strengthen their resilience to climate change, so they not only survive but thrive. Our approach is founded on developing local understanding and ownership in combination with scientific knowledge and co-creating interventions for mitigation and adaptation, such as renewable energy, biodiversity promotion, sustainable water management, forest and mangrove regeneration and soil sequestration.

We are currently working with more than 600,000 farmers and helping them transition to regenerative farming and 12,000 local natural resource management institutions and each year plant millions of trees, restore 10,000s hectares of land and natural resources assets, and generate clean and reliable electricity for over 30,000 people.

It is our collective responsibility to be good stewards of the planet. At this critical moment, we must all nurture and invest in solutions that can repair our planet before it is too late.

Teachers for the Planet

We are putting teachers at the heart of climate education reform. Teaching is the most important green job, on which all future green jobs depend.

Our impact in 2025

2.8 million Trees planted across block plantations, agroforestry, mangrove forests, micro-forests, and nurseries
146,800 People using clean energy infrastructure and equipment
7.35mw Megawatts of clean energy capacity installed

Our Climate Resilience programmes address the following UN Sustainable Development Goals:
