Mr John Lyon

Right now, the global climate and environmental crisis threatens years of progress against poverty.

But at Practical Action, we believe where there’s action, there’s hope.

Together with communities and our global partners, we’re developing unexpected, real-world solutions to create sustainable lives and livelihoods on the frontlines of poverty and climate change. Turning surviving into thriving. Overcoming injustice, especially for women and vulnerable groups.

We believe societies and economies can work for the benefit of all. That we can live within the planet’s means. That innovation and cooperation can conquer any challenge.
