PROGRESSIVE, RESILIENT CLIMATE CHANGE AND DEVELOPMENT (PRCD) is a global NGO dedicated to:
Sustainable Development: Promoting practices and systems that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This includes aspects like sustainable livelihoods, economic empowerment, and responsible resource management.
Climate Resilience: Helping vulnerable communities build their capacity to anticipate, absorb, accommodate, and recover from the impacts of climate change. This involves implementing adaptation strategies, strengthening disaster risk reduction, and promoting climate-smart technologies.
Equitable Solutions for Vulnerable Communities: Focusing specifically on those disproportionately affected by climate change and socio-economic vulnerabilities, ensuring solutions are just, inclusive, and community-led. This highlights a commitment to addressing underlying inequalities and fostering environmental justice.
In essence, PRCD aims to create a world where vulnerable communities are empowered to:
Adapt to the changing climate.
Flourish sustainably.
Live with dignity and security.
They achieve this through a "multi-faceted approach" that integrates climate resilience with sustainable development initiatives, emphasizing community-led, integrated, evidence-based, and partnership-driven strategies. Their work spans program areas like climate change adaptation and mitigation, sustainable livelihoods, disaster risk reduction, advocacy, and research.
