Mission Statement
Challenge to Change creates sustainable systems, which ensure that the well-being of poor, vulnerable communities, and of future generations, is not undermined by the pursuit of short-term economic gains. We do this in two ways: a) by supporting poor communities to adapt their lives to changes in the natural environment, especially climate change; and b) by promoting sustainability through changing attitudes and behaviour, especially in the UK, to reduce environmental footprints, including the carbon footprint which causes climate change.
History of operations in Vietnam
Challenge to Change began supporting poor communities to adapt to climate change in Vietnam, in 2008. CtC has worked in partnership with the Embassies of Sweden and Finland, with Oxfam GB, and with the Rockefeller Foundation. CtC works in rural areas and in urban areas, on the coast and in the mountains. CtC is a founder member of the Climate Change Working Group under the NGO Resource Centre, and an active participant in the ABC (Awareness and Behaviour Change) subgroup.
