The ProAct Network - a not for profit international network of environmental professionals and partners - promotes environmental security and climate change solutions through sound environmental management. Its ultimate objective is to reduce disaster vulnerability and to help minimise the impact of disasters on communities as well as to help ensure that neither peoples' livelihoods nor the environment are unnecessarily impaired during disaster recovery and rehabilitation. |
|
Key thematic areas of the ProAct Network include:
Environmental management and rehabilitation related to population displacement following natural disasters, conflict and/or migration caused by environmental change. Adaptation to climate change and promotion of policies and action plans for reduced carbon footprints. Disaster risk reduction and environmental disaster response. Conflict prevention and resolution with regards access to and use of natural resources.
These core activities are supported, when appropriate, through a number of cross-cutting services, which include:
Environmental assessment, monitoring and evaluation. Development of environmental demonstration projects through community-based partnerships. Training and capacity building, focused on national and international organisations, including support for the development of local environmental non-governmental organisations. Policy research and development including tools and guidance. Knowledge management services including dissemination of lessons learned, publications and information updates, workshops and webcasts.
