Anchor Project Solutions (APS), with its Canadian partner The Resilience Institute (TRI), focuses on:
- Integrating Local and Western Knowledge: Combining traditional and scientific expertise to address climate change
- Informing Decision-Making: Providing insights to support adaptive strategies and decision-making
- Mitigating Climate Impacts: Reducing the effects of climate change on various systems
The APS & TRI’s collaboration aims to:
- Enhance Resilience: Support communities and systems in adapting to climate change
- Inform Effective Strategies: Develop evidence-based approaches to climate change mitigation and adaptation
- Foster Sustainable Development: Promote sustainable infrastructure development and climate resilience through integrated knowledge systems
TRI has long-standing in-country partnerships with South African National Parks and the South Africa Agriculture Research Council that enable the team to fast-track the implementation of adaptation strategies. For example, their collaboration has supported the adaptation capacity of the Nama peoples in Kuboes, South Africa living in and near the Richtersveld World Heritage Site (RWHS).
