2010 Theme: Our Environment: One People, One Planet

Our 2010 theme embraces the growing worldwide momentum to protect our planet. It calls attention to the urgent need for environmental stewardship and strategies that build sustainability and resilience to the mounting challenges of climate change, deforestation, resource depletion and diminishing biodiversity.

Poor and marginalized communities are on the front lines of climate change, at risk from melting glaciers in Tajikistan, salt water intrusion in Bangladesh, and prolonged drought in Kenya where food security and famine hang in the balance. Aga Khan Development Network’s solutions to environmental problems link natural resource management and alternative energy with community development. Responsible stewardship of our planet extends to all people from Asia to Africa to America. This year, PartnershipsInAction will engage Americans as global citizens in the widening grassroots movement to improve the quality of life of our planet and its people. You can help. Find out how.
