Voices from the Ground - Communities adapting to climate change

An overview of AFCIA I projects implemented by UN CTCN and UNDP around the world, supported by the Adaptation Fund.

Around the world, the UN is supporting climate action that reaches the people who need it most. In this video, you’ll see people on the ground, from smallholder farmers and community leaders to innovators and local partners, sharing firsthand how technology and innovation are helping their communities adapt to a changing climate.

These projects and grants are supported by the Adaptation Fund, through the AFCIA I Programme, and implemented by UN CTCN and UNDP. 

From forecast systems that warn of deadly floods, to renewable energy solutions that power resilience, to tools that help farmers cope with drought and landslides, these are stories of practical impact. This is how climate adaptation moves from abstract policy to real solutions that strengthen lives, livelihoods, and long-term resilience. Watch, listen, and be inspired by how science, technology, and human ingenuity are transforming the way people confront climate calamities - one community at a time.
