Climate Justice

CARE is an active partner in climate justice operations in Tanzania.

CARE’s Approaches

Farmer Field and Business School (FFBS)

This participatory model enhances women’s equitable participation in agriculture by getting them the resources, support and information they need to invest in their farms, businesses, families, and communities.

Participatory Scenario Planning

This enables stakeholders including women and different vulnerable groups to have better access to seasonal climate forecasts from meteorological services and local.

Village Savings and Loan Association (VSLA)

VSLA Has proven to be an effective way to increase women’s control over assets and bring women into the realm of financial inclusion and have been proven to accelerate their economic empowerment.

CARE’S SUPER Principle

Sustainable, Productive, Equitable and Resilient to enhance food and nutritional security.

Gendered Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment (GCVCA).

Women Empowerment framework and social action and analysis tool: agency, relation and structure.

Community Score Card

A governance tool that improves participation, decision making, transparency and accountability.

Care adopts a comprehensive approach to climate justice that integrates environmental sustainability, gender equality and social inclusion. It works towards building resilience, reducing vulnerabilities, and promoting adaptive capacities of communities, while ensuring the protection of human rights and addressing systemic inequalities.

As the global climate emergency intensifies, it is estimated that an additional 132 million people will be pushed into poverty by 2030 due to climate change.

Tanzania is highly vulnerable to impacts of climate change. The main challenge lies not in the quantity of available water planning and management quality. As a result of poor planning or inappropriate governance, fewer than 50% of people in rural areas have access to improved water sources.
