Overall Goal
Harnessing expatriate knowledge and strategies to create adaptation and resilience mechanisms for climate vulnerable communities both locally and globally.

ICCWG leverages the expertise and strategies of expatriates to develop adaptation and resilience mechanisms for climate-vulnerable communities, both domestically and internationally.

We prioritize the cultivation of local and global solutions to climate change by tapping into the knowledge and experience of individuals with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. Through this approach, we aim to empower communities through their indigenous knowledge to adapt to the impacts of climate change and enhance their resilience in the face of environmental challenges.
