Adapting for the future: New report details Islamic Relief’s response to the global climate emergency

The world is in peril – the global climate catastrophe is upon it. But all is not yet lost. There are effective and affordable options for reducing damaging emissions and vulnerabilities and building resilience.

Islamic Relief will have to rely on the very best of humanity – combining science and indigenous knowledge, as well as utilizing deep resources of faith, resilience, and ingenuity – to reduce the risks and deal with the consequences.

In a new report, Islamic Relief reflects on the increasing pace of the climate emergency and its expansion further into the lives of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable.

Adapting for the Future provides an overview of Islamic Relief’s extensive work in climate adaptation and community resilience building.

Since the last report of this kind in 2020, the work in this area has extended to 23 countries and a combined budget of nearly £150 million to meet the growing needs of communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis.
