To bring awareness and mobilise key stakeholders an annual conference will be
held at RVA where 100 people come together to discuss how everyone can get
more ready for climate change and switch to a more safe and sustainable lifestyle.

The climate compliance conference will also establish a solid network with
partners and former climate compliance conference participants and bring
biweekly media releases in Radio, TV and Newspapers.

Soil erosion control and tree planting campaigns

Soil erosion in the country is a major environmental issue. There are many
causes leading to an increased rate of soil erosion for example unsustainable land

management, invasive species such as elephant grass, extreme weather patterns
and more. This makes the issue much more complex than one would think, and
therefore calls for an approach that offers multiple preventive actions in order to
curb this growing negative trend.

Since 2012, the CCC has been active in bringing awareness about the importance
of trees and has carried out several actions to plant trees, pandanas and vetiver
grass to protect against land degradation and enhancing nutrition.
