Help build climate resilience through beekeeping

“About 80% of the global population most at risk from crop failures and hunger from climate change are in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, where farming families are disproportionally poor and vulnerable.”
-The World Bank

  We need climate resilience. Now. Help build climate resilience through beekeeping.

Campaign Focus

Climate Change

Climate Change is happening. Communities on the front line are feeling the effect and being pushed deeper in to poverty. Beekeeping helps diversify income and build climate resilient livelihoods.

Agriculture

Bees naturally increase crop yield, research has shown that they increase cashew yield by 200%. With yields falling due to climate change, natural ways to protect food harvests and income are much needed.

Trees for bees, people and planet

Our beekeeping projects include training on tree planting and care. Trees benefit the environment, bees and people by providing forage, shade, additional income from tree crops, and of course, carbon sequestration.

Fighting Climate Change

with beekeeping.

This is Amina. We wish you could read her t-shirt, it says ‘Fight Like a Girl’ and she sure has fighting spirit. She’s building bee hives in 40 degree heat. Why? Because she believes in the power of beekeeping to build climate resilience.

Amina lives in the Kumbungu district. The district is one of the three most at-risk for food security, a worsening challenge with climate change. Beekeeping offers a way to fight back and build climate resilience.

Amina is collaborating with her community to build climate resilience through beekeeping.

What are we raising funds for?

We are raising funds in our Collaborate for Climate campaign to support climate resilience projects in Ghana.

The Kumbungu Cluster

The Kumbungu Cluster is made up of eight communities in the Kumbungu District, an area experiencing high food insecurity. Working with these projects we aim to:

Improve Climate Resilience by providing training and equipment for beekeeping, a climate friendly livelihood.
- Improve food security and resilience to climate by naturally increasing crop yields through bee pollination.
- Support the local and global climate as well as bees, wildlife and people by planting trees, including fruit trees.

The Dome beekeepers

The Dome beekeepers are a community of farmers in central Ghana made up of local Ashanti people (mainly Christians) and climate refugees from Northern Ghana, Burkino Faso and Mali (mainly Muslims). Working with the Dome beekeepers we aim to:

Help build social cohesion though beekeeping within communities hosting climate refugees.
- Improve food security and livelihood resilience to climate by naturally increasing crop yields through bee pollination.

The Fraught and Fascinating Biology of Climate Change

Join us on World Earth Day to learn about the Fraught and Fascinating Biology of Climate Change with biologist and best selling author Thor Hanson.

Drawing on current science and stories from his book, Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid, Hanson shows how plants and animals are moving, adapting, and even evolving in real time, and how the sum of their reactions will determine the future.
