In addition, in Mexico, a rainwater harvesting system-built and managed by our partners-collects water and does not require energy to operate. Biodigesters help reduce methane emissions and prevent it from being released into the atmosphere. Coki Epicenter’s Rural Bank in Senegal partnered with the National Agency of Eco-Villages (ANEV) and the Japanese International Cooperation on a program that promotes the use of biodigesters that convert waste into renewable energy. In 2015, for example, The Hunger Project-Mexico’s regional coordinator Margarita Ruiz Lopez, and our Peruvian partner Tarcila Rivera Zea, founder of Chirapaq, joined world leaders in discussing climate change in Paris at the historic COP21 Summit. At the regional and international levels, we also advocate for the conservation of natural resources, the mitigation of the harmful effects of extractive industries, and the recovery and promotion of traditional knowledge and technology that is highly adaptable to changing climate conditions. The Hunger Project holds workshops to build our partners’ capacity to exercise leadership, take steps to increase their resilience and formulate strategies to mitigate climate change risks. Raise awareness of and build the capacity to adapt to climate change.We promote sustainable farming practices, engage communities with data to encourage land reforestation, ensure access to clean water and sanitation and more.
We work to raise awareness and empower rural communities through knowledge and training to adapt to climate change. The Hunger Project supports communities in becoming more resilient to the pressures of environmental degradation, including soil erosion, water pollution and unreliable or catastrophic weather patterns that affect agriculture and food distribution. In fact, research has shown that when people live in healthier environments, they lead healthier lives. Protecting and restoring our natural environment is fundamental to ending hunger and poverty. When they are empowered with knowledge, people can take action to defend their environment and promote sustainable solutions to climate change that benefit their communities for both the present and the future. The effects of climate change are disproportionately felt by our poorest and most vulnerable populations. This year, the Earth Day theme is “ Environmental and Climate Literacy. Earth Day is a call to action for the global community to address climate change, foster a sustainable, healthy environment and protect our planet for future generations. Whatever you do today, we hope you’re able to take a moment to savor and cherish this boundless, stunning Earth that we inhabit.The Hunger Project celebrates Earth Day on April 22, 2017. That’s some heroic work for tiny animals!īut the Earth Day celebration doesn’t end there! By clicking beyond the Doodle to Google Search, you’ll find easy Earth Day tips to help you do your part in saving our planet, including supporting critical conservation efforts such as wildlife conservation with World Wildlife Fund, coral reef conservation with The Ocean Agency, and rainforest conservation with The Jane Goodall Institute. To combat things like coral bleaching and pollution, the three eco-rangers are inspired to take action such as eating less meat, carpooling, and unplugging unused electronic devices. Along the way, the fox enlists friends – including Momo the cat, and Google Weather’s favorite frog – to join its quest to protect and nurture the environment. The fox wakes with a startle, and urgently starts making small lifestyle changes to care for the Earth. Today’s Doodle follows the story of a fox who dreams about an Earth that’s been polluted and adversely affected by climate change. That’s quite an awe-inspiring roster of qualities, if you ask us. It’s also the densest planet in the Solar System and the largest of the four terrestrial planets. At an estimated 4.543 billion years of age, the Earth is still the only known object in the Universe known to harbor life. Today, we honor the rich, vast Earth that’s sustained generations before us and continues to nurture life and inspire wonder.
