Through its programs and projects JAGO NARI provides a range of rights based support to women and children through a holistic approach. JAGO NARI’S work with children complies with the United Nations child rights conventions .The organization believes that childhood means much more than the space between birth and the attainment of adulthood. Childhood refers to the state and condition of a child’s life-to the quality of those years. JAGO NARI recognizes that children as well as women are the holders of their own rights. And because these rights are invested in the child’s and woman’s own person, the child and the woman is no longer a passive recipient of charity but an empowered actor in his/her own development. The organization emphasizes the need to respect children’s and women’s evolving capacities. All programs are expected to create spaces and promote process designed to enable and empower children and women to express their views, to be consulted and to influence decisions in all matters affecting them in accordance with their age and development. |  | http://jagonari.org/ | Non-governmental organization - NGO | Local | Submitted | 54 | | | Centre for Climate Change and Environment Management | CCCEM | Martin Mwanangwa | Approved | 19/06/2019 18:19 | | | | | | | Capacity building;#Climate observations;#Climate scenarios;#Communication and outreach/awareness;#Education and training;#Institutional arrangements;#Monitoring and evaluation/M＆E;#Science and research;#Socio-economic data and information;#Stakeholder involvement;#Technology support;#Vulnerability assessment | Agriculture, Biodiversity, Community-based adaptation, Disaster risk reduction, Ecosystem-based adaptation, Ecosystems, Energy, Food security, Gender, Urban resilience, Water resources | The Centre for Climate Change and Environment Management (CCCEM) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization NGO) formed to address challenges that climate change has brought and will bring to the Malawi environment and the world at large.

MarineLife Alliance is a non-political, nonprofit, non-government research organization dealing with biodiversity resource conservation and research, established in 2003, is committed to be dedicated to the understanding, protection and preservation of the regional as well as world’s marine resources and ecosystem. Endless and tremendous threats to the coastal and marine resources in Bangladesh due to manmade alteration in the name of development, unlawful eradication of living resources and the extreme desire for marine underwater exploration thrusts the formation of MLA by a group of young biologist who are carrying out conservation and research work with the voluntary contribution since 1994. MarineLife Alliance is committed to be dedicated to the understanding, protection and preservation of the regional as well as world’s marine resources and ecosystem.
MISSION & GOALS
MarineLife Alliance born to promote conservation and research of our marine resources. The ocean is a really tremendous mystery. Only 8 - 9% of the Worlds Ocean has been said by the world biologist leaving us poorly prepared to monitor changes in the distribution of marine species. Coastal areas everywhere in the world are densely populated and local people depend largely upon sea resource especially in the 3rd world. The degradation of the ocean resources is severe as whale sharks are caught and killed by the fisherman; sea turtles are suffocated by fishing activity. Corals, mollusk and sea urchins are extracted by local people in huge number, numerous juvenile sea species are destroyed just for the lack of consciousness and lack of knowledge. Two third of the world’s reefs are dying and our one of the great concern of this is coral bleaching. Magnificent species like sea turtles, Whales & dolphins are being trapped in fishing gears and corals are dying from the loss of essential symbiotic environmental condition. They want human care to overcome and how extensive it is only scientist can depict. MarineLife mission is to protect the marine resources from the near extinction through the civilized human activity.
MEMBERSHIP
Membership is open to the organization and major working and supporting force is local community who live in remote setting where the conservation work takes place. The NGO is trying to empower local’s capacity and alleviate poverty that will ultimately help them refrain from destructive activity against natural resources.
OBJECTIVE OF THE ORGANIZATION
Organization objective and mission is to conserve and restore the countries marine and coastal biodiversity through local people’s participation, capacity building and scientific understanding by innovative in depth research.

There are 33 divisional offices and 385 Tehsil offices all across the country.
The Government of Pakistan launched the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) – the National Cash Transfer Programme (NCTP) – in July 2008, as the premier safety net institution in Pakistan. BISP originally came into being in the face of rapid food price inflation, which saw food, grain and fuel prices reaching a 30-year highest in 2008 and the global economic downturn in 2009 which further decreased the welfare of already vulnerable households. The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), a targeted unconditional cash transfer program in Pakistan was implemented by focusing on poor women with an immediate objective of consumption smoothing and cushioning the negative effects of slow economic growth
Goals and objective of Programme are as follows
Enhance financial capacity of poor people and their dependent family members.
Formulate and implement comprehensive policies and targeted programmes for the uplift of underprivileged and vulnerable people.
Reduce poverty and promote equitable distribution of wealth especially for the low income groups. | | http://bisp.gov.pk | National/public entity | | Submitted | 132 | | | United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change secretariat | UNFCCC | NWP | Approved | 19/06/2019 18:19 | | | | | | | | | WHO WE ARE
When and why was the secretariat created?
The UNFCCC secretariat (UN Climate Change) was established in 1992 when countries adopted the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
With the subsequent adoption of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 and the Paris Agreement in 2015, Parties to these three agreements have progressively reaffirmed the secretariat’s role as the United Nations entity tasked with supporting the global response to the threat of climate change.
Since 1995, the secretariat is located in Bonn, Germany.
Who works at the secretariat?
Around 450 staff are employed at UN Climate Change. Secretariat staff come from over 100 countries and represent a blend of diverse cultures, gender and professional backgrounds.
At the head of the secretariat is the Executive Secretary, a position currently held by Patricia Espinosa.
What does the secretariat do?
Focussing in its early years largely on facilitating the intergovernmental climate change negotiations, the secretariat today supports a complex architecture of bodies that serve to advance the implementation of the Convention, the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement.
The secretariat provides technical expertise and assists in the analysis and review of climate change information reported by Parties and in the implementation of the Kyoto mechanisms. It also maintains the registry for Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) established under the Paris Agreement, a key aspect of implementation of the Paris Agreement.
The secretariat organizes and supports between two and four negotiating sessions each year. The largest and most important is the Conference of the Parties, held annually and hosted in different locations around the globe. It is the largest annual United Nations conference, attended on average by around 25,000 participants. In addition to these major conferences, the secretariat organizes annual sessions of the so-called subsidiary bodies as well as a large number of meetings and workshops throughout the year.
In recent years, the secretariat also supports the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action, agreed by governments to signal that successful climate action requires strong support from a wide range of actors, including regions, cities, business, investors and all parts of civil society. At UN Climate Change Conferences, a large number of events demonstrate how non-Party stakeholders are working with governments and the UN system to implement the Paris Agreement.
Throughout the year, the secretariat strives to keep all stakeholders informed of on the negotiating process and climate action through a variety of communications products, including social media. The UNFCCC social media accounts, including on Twitter and Facebook have a combined following of around 1.3 million people | | http://www.unfccc.int | UN and affiliated organization | Global | Submitted | 136 | | | Bangladesh NGOs Network for Radio & Communication | BNNRC | AHM Bazlur Rahman | Approved | 19/06/2019 18:19 | | | | | | | Capacity building;#Climate observations;#Climate scenarios;#Communication and outreach/awareness;#Knowledge management | Agriculture, Biodiversity, Coastal areas/zones, Community-based adaptation, Disaster risk reduction, Food security, Gender, Health, Human settlements, Tourism, Water resources | According to NAIROBI WORK PROGRAMME (NWP):

The community radio stations are now broadcasting 160 hours of daily programs majorities of which are aimed at addressing the Nairobi work programme on impacts, vulnerability and adaptation to climate change by motivating people, connecting and bridging the gaps by setting agendas like reducing poverty and inequalities, need for education and good health and clean water & sanitation. Around 1000 community broadcasters are now working with 17 stations throughout the country as rural broadcasters. |  | https://www.bnnrc.net | Non-governmental organization - NGO | National | Submitted | 137 | | | THE HIGHER GROUND FOUNDATION | HGF | Karl SCHULTZ | Approved | 19/06/2019 18:19 | | | | | | | | | To encourage investment in climate adaptation projects, The Higher Ground Foundation created the Vulnerability Reduction Credit, or VRC™, an economic measure of the effects of such projects in reducing vulnerability. The VRC is an exchangeable certificate that a project has met and is meeting its adaptation targets. VRCs are a means to quantifiably assess a project, based on sustained attention to maintaining climate resilience. As such they may be used for monitoring and evaluating projects, prioritizing investments, and could be purchased by parties interested in securing verifiable reductions in climate vulnerability from climate adaptation.
We are at an exciting point in our development. After development and a comprehensive review by over 40 experts, we have released of VRC Standard Framework and launched our "Pilot Implementation and Partnerships Phase. We invite you to join us in pioneering projects, methodologies, and financing mechanisms to create a future where the best responses to climate change are the choices the world wants to make.

This call was responded to by Dr. M. El Tom of the Geography Department, University of Khartoum, who wrote to the Vice-Chancellor asking for the establishment of a Faculty for Environmental Studies. Growing interest in the University and outside led the Vice-Chancellor in 1975 to establish a steering committee heads by Professor M.D. El Khalifa to look into the possibility of the University creating such an institute.
The Committee considered new kinds of training at the under-graduate and post-graduate levels as well as new approaches to the organization of environmental research. This work was assisted by a valuable report sponsored by Ford Foundation and written by Dr. Ian Burton of the University of Toronto and Dr. Gordon Conway, of Imperial College, London, based on a mission to the Sudan.
The Steering Committee recommended that, for the time being, the Institute would concentrate on post-graduate training and leave an under-graduate programme to a later date. It was also felt that because the nature of environmental problems in the Sudan that the traditional disciplinary approaches by themselves were not enough and that a broad integrative inter-disciplinary outlook was needed for the new programme. It was also agreed that rather than start a completely new unit within the university, it would be better to build on existing structures and the Hydrobiological Research Unit and the Natural History Museum, of the Faculty of Science, were selected to be the nucleus of the new institute.
In April, 1978 the U of K Senate gave formal approval to the Institute of Environmental Studies’ Statute which stipulated that control would be vested in a Board and an Academic Committee. In June of that year the Ford Foundation made a generous grant to the Institute to cover the first two years of its operation. Finally, in April 1979, the Senate approved the curriculum that had been planned by the Academic Committee. During the students’ recruitment process it was decided that for the time being it would be most appropriate for the Institute to admit students who were already employed and who could bring the benefits of IES training directly to their work when they returned. In August the first group of nine post-graduate students enrolled in the Master of Science course in Environmental Studies, the first of its kind in Africa and the Arab World.

In fact, we are the only international, non-governmental organization with this focus. We design solutions in partnership with local mountain communities to meet their unique needs. We’re making a real difference in people’s lives in some of the most remote and threatened places on the planet. Our Medicinal and Aromatic Plants project helps impoverished high-mountain farmers in Nepal support their families. In the Andes of Peru we work closely with remote communities to help them become more resilient in the face of climate change. In the Appalachian mountains of the USA we’re teaching children about science in the context of mountain ecology. And in the American West, our Institute supports indigenous peoples’ efforts to preserve their tribal lands and heritage. Our global initiatives rely on an alliance of partners who work together to keep mountain issues on the international agenda. | | http://www.mountain.org | Non-governmental organization - NGO | Global | Submitted | 56 | | | Association des Agriculteurs reunis pour le Developpement du Cameroun | CADIRE CAMEROON ASSOCIATION | MBOCK KEKED | Approved | 19/06/2019 18:19 | | | | | | | Adaptation planning and practices;#Capacity building;#Climate observations;#Education and training;#Impact assessment;#Knowledge management;#Monitoring and evaluation/M＆E;#Science and research;#Vulnerability assessment | Adaptation finance, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Ecosystem-based adaptation, Ecosystems, Energy, Food security, Gender, Health, Human settlements, Infrastructure, Urban resilience, Water resources | Promoting sustainaible development and climate protection in several branch of activities ( Agriculture - Health - Environment - Energy - Education - Urban and Rural Development - Problems issues through Municipalities of the ten regions of Cameroon. | | http://www.cabinetjob.com/devcadire/ | Civil society | National | Submitted | 58 | | | Natural Resources Canada | NRCan | Adam | Approved | 19/06/2019 18:19 | | | | | | | Adaptation planning and practices;#Capacity building;#Climate observations;#Climate scenarios;#Communication and outreach/awareness;#Education and training;#Impact assessment;#Science and research;#Vulnerability assessment | Agriculture, Biodiversity, Coastal areas/zones, Community-based adaptation, Disaster risk reduction, Ecosystem-based adaptation, Ecosystems, Energy, Urban resilience | Collaboration on climate change impacts and adaptation in Canada | | http://www.nrcan.gc.ca/environment/impacts-adaptation/assessments/10029 | National/public entity | Global;#Local;#National;#Regional | Submitted | 62 | | | National Drought Management Authority | NDMA | Sunya Orre | Approved | 19/06/2019 18:19 | | | | | | | Adaptation planning and practices;#Capacity building;#Climate scenarios;#Communication and outreach/awareness;#Education and training;#Financial support;#Knowledge management;#Technology support;#Vulnerability assessment | Adaptation finance, Agriculture, Community-based adaptation, Food security | We coordinate and provide leadership on drought management in Kenya.

CHanGE discerns, quantifies, and communicates risk by taking a systems approach. Working with diverse stakeholders, CHanGE uses scenarios to highlight and quantify current risks, giving weight to vulnerable populations, studying their susceptibility, and identifying and testing strategies to improve and protect their health.
PROTECTING HEALTH
CHanGE works with communities to identify strategic investments that will improve their health, from strengthening public health activities and systems to conducting health impact assessments of infrastructure decisions. Activities range from consultation to assure strategic public health investment to research on new interventions to protect health, including factors that affect successful implementation.
PURSUING TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE
Global change presents unprecedented challenges and opportunities to population health, with the challenges expected to increase over coming decades. Early action can reduce current health burdens from global environmental changes, and prevent much of the increases projected over coming decades. Preparing for and managing risks is fundamentally about the future –the health of our children and grandchildren, identifying opportunities for transformative change in health and other sectors.
