Developing an approach to refugee integration that reflects the realities of refugee life and focuses on developing solutions that are good enough to meet refugee needs, but which are robust enough to create an evidence base for change ( KMI)

Partnering for a just transition to stop drought destroying the livelihoods and futures of East Africa's pastoral nomads. Ensuring these stewards of the semi-arid regions are not lost to refugee camps and internal displacement (Green Action)

Bringing together a core group of Charities and community businesses in the UK to develop the Race Equity Quality in Transitions Exchange (REQUITE).

Working to support Net Zero and Sustainable Development Goals

Whilst those in the west support tree planting for its ability to sequester CO2 the same trees can provide medicine, timber, wood for sculptors, materials for pastoral encampments, fruit, nuts, livestock security, fodder, shelter and fertiliser. Managed for a surplus such trees can provide an additional income which will support, for example, the transition from charcoal to more efficient stoves, create community Aayuto funds for microfinance, reduce landscape degradation, create community drought resistance funds.

Our work is designed to support Net Zero and the Sustainable Development Goals through our Zero + vision for a sustainable just transition
