What is Climate Change?

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Such shifts can be natural but are also influenced by humans through the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas which generates greenhouse gas emissions. These emissions act like a blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun’s heat, raising global temperatures, and changing weather patterns.

How could Climate change affect my livelihood?

More frequent and severe weather events such as intense storms are damaging infrastructure, contributing to issues like power outages or transportation stoppages, and disrupting supply chains. Gradual changes in temperatures and rainfall over time are impacting people’s health and safety, and causing changes in water availability that particularly impact sectors like agriculture and livestock production. While climate change affects everyone, its impacts are often felt most acutely by vulnerable populations, and especially women.

"FINCA Kosovo is planning to start interactive training sessions to educate employees and improve their understanding of the rapid climate change in agricultural setting. The topic of trainings is how to effectively assess climate and business risks and the importance of adopting adaptive climate mitigation strategies. Through these training sessions, FINCA Kosovo aims to raise awareness and at the same time empower staff with practical skills and tools to help and guide our customers to be better prepared for challenges caused by climate change."
