An ancient Native American saying says: “We don’t inherit the earth, we borrow it from our children.”

Wise words  which consider the protection and safeguarding of the environment as essential not only for our lives, but also for those of future generations. The beauty of considering the defence of landscapes, cultures and resources as a fundamental commitment to avoid the irreparable damage of the rise in global temperatures is seen as central to our actions. An ambitious goal, one which an organisation like PuntoSud cannot tackle on its own.

However, by looking at the opportunities that are opening up, at the paths that must be taken both to mitigate climate change and to manage current and future transformations, PuntoSud has decided to contribute by being fully  committed to supporting local climate adaptation actions carried outby small civil society organisations in Italy and worldwide.
