Green Roads for Water – A Transformative Approach to Building Greener Infrastructure for Strong Communities
The "Green Roads for Water" initiative combats global road damage by lowering maintenance costs, boosting environmental resilience, and addressing water scarcity. By designing roads for water management, we transform infrastructure to benefit communities and ecosystems.
Landscapes and Local Climates
For over a decade, we have trained local partners and monitored progress using remote sensing and participatory approaches. Working with communities, we develop tailored plans to regreen landscapes, restore water balance, and enhance farming resilience to climate change.
