Key Achievements

For over four decades, AKRSP has been working with the local communities to build resilience against climate change while improving livelihoods. Through large-scale afforestation and green infrastructure development, it has restored degraded landscapes, enhanced biodiversity, and supported carbon sequestration. AKRSP’s investments in renewable energy solutions, including solar-powered irrigation and micro-hydro projects, have further lowered carbon emissions while providing sustainable energy to remote areas.

Climate-smart agriculture initiatives have introduced adaptive farming techniques, including water conservation, drought-resistant crops, and organic farming, strengthening food security and resource efficiency. AKRSP has also promoted green businesses by encouraging eco-friendly entrepreneurship through the START Apna Karobar Programme, focusing on waste recycling, renewable energy, and sustainable tourism. Additionally, it has built solar-powered IT hubs, creating green jobs and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

At the heart of these efforts is civil society capacity building, equipping local organisations and communities with the knowledge and skills to drive climate adaptation and mitigation.
