SDG 13 | Climate Action

It’s very important that plantation workers community to be enlighten on climate changes and natural disasters as most of the tea plantation located in deep hillslope. The vulnerable community has high risk on natural disaster likely landslide, flood and droughts that directly result the economic loses and deaths.

ISD creates awareness among the community members and form Estate Disaster Management Committees (EDMC) with collaboration of District Disaster Management Centres. This committee will be able to access the government services through District Disaster Management Centre. However, there are gaps to be filled in terms of providing relief for the disaster victims in the plantation such building houses and providing economic loses, therefore, ISD lobbies for the inclusion process.
