Mission

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.
