The environment can be understood as everything that surrounds us. It includes all our ecosystems with diverse animal species, plants and fungi, the nutrients in the soil, the weather systems, geology and much more.
Environmental degradation has a major impact on livelihoods. When we consume natural resources in an unsustainable way, or pollute water, air or soil, we affect the ecosystems that we depend on.
This is why DanChurchAid (DCA) act to protect and restore the environment in addition to having a specific focus on addressing climate change. We do this by for example promoting the uptake of agroecological practices, reforestation and afforestation, or by supporting sustainable waste management and circular economy.
