                     Climate Action: Strategies for Building 
a Resilient and Sustainable Future
Presented by Thanal
•People • Planet • Sustainability
Why Climate 
Action Matters
•Climate change is already impacting 
lives, livelihoods, and ecosystems.
•Rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, 
floods, droughts, and extreme events.
•Vulnerable communities face the 
highest risks.
•Immediate action is essential for 
environmental and social well-being.
The Core 
Framework
Mitigation + Adaptation = 
Climate Resilience
• Mitigation: Reduce 
greenhouse gas emissions.
• Adaptation: Prepare for and 
withstand unavoidable 
climate impacts.
• Both approaches are 
essential for long-term 
sustainability.
Strategy 1 — Clean & Renewable Energy
Promote solar, wind, and other renewable energy sources.
Reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Encourage community-level renewable energy adoption.
Boost energy efficiency in homes and public spaces.
Strategy 2 — Sustainable 
Farming & Ecosystem
