Body
CARE Climate’s Catalysts for Change Toolkit is the climate-justice toolkit published by CARE Climate (the climate-justice programme of CARE International, focused on the disproportionate climate impact on poor and women-headed households in the Global South) [source: care-catalysts-for-change]. CARE International is the confederation of 14 national CARE offices and is one of the largest humanitarian and development NGOs globally; the Catalysts for Change toolkit is the programmatic-output version of CARE Climate’s long-running climate-justice practice [source: care-catalysts-for-change]. The toolkit’s adaptation work emphasises gender, inclusion, and resilience at the intersection of climate impact and the care economy [source: care-catalysts-for-change].
Coverage: the toolkit covers climate-justice framing in a CARE context; climate-adaptation at community level (especially water, food, and shelter); disaster-risk reduction; the linkages between climate vulnerability and gender-based violence; women’s leadership in adaptation planning; and the gender-responsive budgeting of climate finance [source: care-catalysts-for-change]. The toolkit is published in English and Spanish, with regional editions adapted for CARE country offices in Africa, Asia, and Latin America [source: care-catalysts-for-change].
A campaigner reaches for it when designing a climate-justice curriculum in the CARE tradition, when training new climate-adaptation facilitators at community level, or when sourcing CARE authority for a gender-and-climate advocacy argument [source: care-catalysts-for-change].
