Priority action: protecting outdoor workers during extreme heat

Read the field brief

How we act

Field evidence must travel all the way to power.

Our operating model connects immediate protection with long-term reform while keeping community voice, consent, and accountability visible.

Our operating model

From the first conversation to structural change.

01

Listen & document

We begin with informed consent, local-language access, community testimony, and evidence gathered without creating new risk.

02

Protect & refer

Urgent needs move toward practical safety, relief, legal, health, and protection pathways as quickly as possible.

03

Advocate & reform

Patterns in individual cases become the evidence base for policy reform, institutional accountability, and climate-finance advocacy.

04

Report & learn

Communities and partners should see what changed, what did not, and what needs to be redesigned.

Standards in every programme

How we protect trust.

Consent

People understand how their information and testimony may be used.

Do no harm

Evidence gathering never takes priority over safety, privacy, or dignity.

Local access

Language, geography, disability, and digital access are considered from the start.

Measurable learning

We report outcomes, gaps, unintended effects, and corrective action.

Stand with Bangladesh’s frontlines

A safer climate. Secure land. Full civil liberties.

Let’s build the protection people are already demanding.
