AREAS OF FOCUS: Environmentalism & Climate Action

The effects of climate change are not felt equally across the world: existing inequalities are exacerbated. Naza supports initiatives that take creative approaches to shaping a world that is equitable and sustainable.

Climate change hits those living in developing countries the hardest, despite the fact they’re least likely to have contributed to rising CO2 emissions. Many of these nations lack the resilience and infrastructure to bounce back from the damage inflicted by global warming. These are challenges Naza has witnessed first hand, having met girls and women across the world for whom injustices have been intensified by climate change.
