Real talk: The majority of people recognize that disasters—whether fueled by climate change, systemic failures, or sudden crises—are a growing emergency.

Local grassroots communities have real, proven solutions that address root causes and help communities adapt.

Yet, these efforts are largely invisible in mainstream media and receive less than 2% of global funding, despite being some of the most effective, scalable, and cost-efficient approaches to disaster response and long-term resilience.
