| dc.description |
In Bheerapani, a small, remote village in the Nainital district in the central
Himalayas, the Community Awareness
Centre (CAC) promotes environmentally
sustainable livelihoods through processes
such as forest protection and organic
farming. Its participatory approach
engages local people in developing
effective, locally-owned solutions to
climate change, fostering their initiatives
rather than setting rigid project goals.
As part of these processes, CAC encourages discussion of gender inequalities
and empowers women by raising awareness of their rights over resources and
knowledge systems. The tiny NGO, which
is run by only four people on a shoestring budget, has facilitated amazing
transformations against the backdrop of
climate change in India. It has inspired
women to become local leaders in
climate-related issues and advocates
of more sustainable organic farming.
It has also helped to shift perceptions
of gender roles. |
