Helvetas

HELVETAS Swiss Intercooperation is committed to a fairer world, in which all people live self-determined lives in dignity and security, use natural resources sustainably and care for the environment.  Climate extremes are hitting the most vulnerable the hardest. Strengthening climate and disaster resilience is therefore crucial to enhance food and water security, and enable sustainable livelihoods, both in rural areas and in cities. Helvetas promotes access to climate information and early warning systems, advocates for resilient critical infrastructure and supports inclusive risk governance in 30 countries worldwide. We also integrate climate and disaster resilience in our humanitarian portfolio through risk-informed rehabilitation and reconstruction and enhancing disaster preparedness.
