With over 15 years of experience in conflict zones, natural disasters, and response to climate-affected people, the members of CLIMATE-DISPLACEMENT ACTION are committed to combating the climate catastrophe and its underlying causes.

Our Guiding Values & Principles

CLIMATE-DISPLACEMENT ACTION is guided by firm values that keep us grounded in a world that is always in a state of flux. These values bind us to a common goal, shape our work, direct our decisions, and manifest themselves in all that we do to further our mission.

We Build Trust

Honesty, transparency, and respect are necessary for collaborating with others while confidently exploring new horizons. As we establish partnerships with partners and the general public that promote shared objectives and common interests, we endeavor to always act with integrity.

We Are Neutral

We do not engage in any racial, religious or political controversy. Nevertheless, we can denounce human rights violations we witness as well as obstacles put in the way of sufficiently expeditious and robust humanitarian activities.

We Are Collaborative

Addressing the causes of climate change and its impact requires collaboration across disciplines and sectors. By reaching out and building partnerships across fields and encouraging public participation in the design and implementation of policies, we endeavor to contribute to a future that benefits us all, and none is left behind.

We Believe in Humanity

Climate-Displacement Action is determined to bring assistance without discrimination to climate-affected communities, and endeavors, to prevent and alleviate the impact of climate change on local individuals and households around the world. Its main purpose is to protect life and to ensure respect and protection for human beings. We promote and advocate for mutual understanding, inclusion, and gender equality.

We Are Research Oriented

We definitely don't have all the answers, but we're always in search of them. We support and advocate for evidence-based decision-making processes. This is a calling that requires us to continually act with humility, excitement for new ideas, respect for others' knowledge, and faith in progress.

We Are Impartial

We support affected communities without any discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class, or political opinions. Our work is guided solely by the needs of individuals and communities.

We Are Non-Profit

Climate-Displacement Organization is a not-for-profit movement whose objectives are not prompted in any manner by a desire for gain.

We Believe in Transparency

We take transparency and accountability very seriously. Climate-Displacement Action is committed to respecting a policy of transparency and disclosure for its beneficiaries, donors, and partners by making available all information on the allocation and management of its funds, and by providing an independent audit of its good management.

Research & Advocacy

Scientific evidence exists to suggest that climate change is impacting different communities in different ways, posing serious protection risks to women and children in particular. However, we lack details on issues faced by communities as a result of climate change and its combination with social challenges.

At CDA, we travel around Afghanistan, listen and speak to those affected by climate change. Through our in-country monitoring and research activities, we first identify the problem and understand how we best can generate change. We share our findings with stakeholders at all levels and engage the public and policymakers for meaningful action to help those in need.

We also draw on our years of experience to inspire policymakers and communities to take action. From governments to local community leaders, we advocate for policies that address the needs of communities, the lack of which is already forcing people to even flee their homes and put their lives at greater risk.

What We Do

CLIMATE-DISPLACEMENT ACTION protects and serves local communities impacted as a result of climate change, including internally displaced persons, migrants, refugees, and host communities worldwide. We support climate-affected communities through livelihood, integration support, information-sharing, and adaptation to climate change.

CLIMATE-DISPLACEMENT ACTION
Seek funding to build sports infrastructure, or develop if there is any existing sports infrastructure to foster youth engagement in positive activities. This is particularly important because establishing safe spaces for community members, particularly women and girls will encourage them to speak and in the long run, increase understanding and reduce social tensions.
