About the network

Acting Locally for a Climate-Resilient Tomorrow

The INSEN – Climate Action Network is a thematic platform of the Integrated Network for Sustainable and Environmental Needs. It seeks to connect communities, civil society, technical institutions and development partners to address climate risks and advance sustainable development.

With a focus on vulnerable and underserved communities, the network promotes inclusive, evidence-informed and locally appropriate responses to flooding, extreme weather, changing rainfall patterns, environmental degradation and other climate-related challenges.
