Climate Action

Climate Resilience — A Responsibility We All Share

Building environments capable of responding to climate change.

1.3°C

The rise in average global temperature over the past 5 decades of accelerating industrialization

_WHO, FAO, WFP, UNFCCC
 
 
The climate crisis is already disrupting lives across Africa. Experts warn that, following a 1.3°C increase in average global temperature over the past five decades of industrialization, the pace of climate change is expected to accelerate even further. Each year, tens of millions of people suffer from droughts and floods driven by climate change. In the years ahead, these disasters are projected to become more prolonged and more frequent, placing even more communities at risk.
 
For agricultural societies that depend heavily on water, the climate crisis is a threat to survival. Damage to infrastructure and declining agricultural productivity caused by climate-related disasters contribute to the spread of infectious diseases and food insecurity, threatening the stability of entire communities. Yet the trajectory can change when communities come together to build climate-adaptive infrastructure and take collective action to adapt to — and contribute to mitigating — the climate crisis.
 
Team & Team supports communities in strengthening their understanding of the climate crisis and building the capacity to adapt and sustain their livelihoods.
 
 

How does Team&Team work?

We Strengthen Climate Resilience.



We identify regions most severely affected by climate change and create environments where communities can quickly restore their daily lives in the aftermath of climate-related disasters.

We Contribute to Carbon Sequestration and Reduction.



In providing access to safe water, we prioritize the installation of solar-powered water systems and adopt the most sustainable water extraction methods available. Through tree-planting initiatives, we also contribute to carbon sequestration efforts.

We Safeguard Water Resources for Future Generations.



By constructing Sand Dams, we secure sufficient drinking water for communities even during periods of drought, while recharging depleted groundwater reserves to ensure availability for future generations.

We Support Climate-Adaptive Sanitation.



In response to increasingly frequent flooding, we build safe sanitation environments that hold up even when floods occur.

Even Amid a Changing Climate, Life Must Go On.

Team&Team identifies communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis, strengthens their resilience, and lays the foundation for residents to respond to climate change independently. To this end, we establish renewable energy–powered water supply systems; support the planting of fruit trees and the development of household gardens for carbon sequestration and food security; and promote sustainable water resource management for future generations. Through these efforts, we build water and sanitation infrastructure capable of withstanding climate-related disasters.

Solar-Powered Water Supply Systems



Using solar energy, we pump groundwater from developed boreholes into elevated storage tanks, typically 5–10 meters high. Water is then distributed through gravity-fed pipelines to community water points. Because the system does not rely on fossil fuels, it provides an environmentally sustainable solution.



Reforestation and Climate-Adaptive Agriculture Support



Through fruit tree planting and household gardening activities, communities secure food for their families and generate additional income from surplus produce. Expanded green cover also contributes to climate change mitigation, protecting both livelihoods and the environment. In addition, we establish climate-adaptive agricultural foundations, such as drip irrigation systems, and provide training in efficient farming practices.

Sand dam Construction



Sand dams capture and store rainwater during the rainy season, enabling communities to use it for drinking and agriculture. At the same time, the stored water gradually infiltrates the ground, helping to recharge depleted groundwater reserves. With relatively low installation costs and simple maintenance requirements, sand dams offer an effective and sustainable method of water conservation. By ensuring reliable access to water even during droughts, they play a critical role in strengthening climate resilience.



Climate-Adaptive Sanitation Facilities



We construct sanitation facilities designed to withstand climate-related disasters such as droughts and floods, ensuring safe and continuous use. By elevating the substructure of latrines and using building materials that are highly durable and weather-resistant, communities are able to maintain hygienic living conditions even in challenging environments, preventing the spread of infectious diseases.

Our Projects

Strengthening Climate Resilience through WASH

Turkana County, Kenya (2022–2023)


27,766 people 

provided with access to safe drinking water


Constructed 10 solar-powered water supply systems
Installed 8 new hand pumps

Turkana County in Kenya faced an extreme shortage of safe drinking water due to severe drought. Through the UNICEF SCORE Project, Team&Team constructed 10 solar-powered water supply systems and installed 8 new hand pumps. The solar-powered systems were designed to separate water points for domestic use and livestock, ensuring improved hygiene management. As a result, 27,766 people gained access to safe drinking water. In addition, the installation of new hand pumps enabled 8,550 residents and their livestock to access safe water sources.

Sustainable Water and Sanitation Support Project

39

agricultural water points installed for farming and food security


Planted 1,190 trees (550 in schools, 640 on farmland)
Installed crop storage facilities
Capacity Building training in climate-adaptive agriculture for 92 farmers

The Kakuma Refugee Camp and Kalobeyei Settlement in Kenya were facing prolonged drought and food insecurity caused by climate change. Over three years, Team&Team strengthened community resilience through tree planting, agricultural water supply support, and farming education. A total of 1,190 trees were planted in schools and farmland, contributing to carbon sequestration and improved nutrition. Newly developed boreholes and the installation of 39 agricultural water points significantly enhanced agricultural productivity. In addition, 92 farmers received training in climate-friendly agricultural techniques and financial management, strengthening their capacity for climate-adaptive agriculture.
