Overview:
Background of the project
The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s
worst humanitarian crises and helps people survive, recover and gain control of
their future. The IRC is working to improve the safety, health, education,
economic well-being and power of people in crisis affected places.
Sitting within the Airbel Impact Lab, the research and innovation
arm of the IRC, and working in close coordination with the Economic Recovery
and Development (ERD) Technical Unit, the Climate Resilience Research &
Innovation team generates and adapts solutions to increase the resilience of
agro-pastoral livelihoods in the areas hardest hit by climate change and
conflict – with a focus on women, who are disproportionately affected by
climate impacts and already face significant challenges in agriculture. Our
solutions are localized to specific priority countries and will help to reduce
poverty and food insecurity by enabling people and institutions to absorb,
adapt and respond to climate shocks.
