WE ALSO MADE SURE THE VOICES OF THE PEOPLE AFFECTED BY CLIMATE CHANGE WERE REPRESENTED AT THE INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE TALKS IN PARIS AT THE END OF THE YEAR. ALTHOUGH THE PARIS AGREEMENT IS WEAK AND UNFAIR TO POOR COUNTRIES, IT REMAINS A STARTING POINT IN GLOBAL EFFORTS TO TACKLE CLIMATE CHANGE. WE ARE CONTINUING TO PUSH THE U.S. GOVERNMENT AND OTHER MAJOR EMITTERS TO PROVIDE THE MONEY NEEDED TO HELP POOR COUNTRIES ADAPT TO THE CHANGING CLIMATE. 941281 633200 FOOD & AGRICULTURE: LOCAL FARMERS PROVIDE UP TO 80% OF THE FOOD WE EAT, BUT RECEIVE LITTLE IN THE WAY OF INVESTMENT. THIS MEANS THAT LOCAL FARMERS ARE OFTEN DENIED ACCESS TO THE FERTILIZERS, TOOLS, AND EXPERTISE THAT THEY NEED TO MAKE THEIR FARMS MORE PROFITABLE. ACTIONAID SUCCESSFULLY CHAMPIONED A NEW GLOBAL FUND THAT WILL PROVIDE INVESTMENT DIRECTLY TO POOR FARMERS. THE FUNDING STREAM, WHICH IS BEING PILOTED AS PART OF THE GLOBAL AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SECURITY PROGRAM, WILL PROVIDE $16 MILLION 673381 615836 EDUCATION: APPROXIMATELY 58 MILLION CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD DON'T GO TO SCHOOL. MORE THAN HALF OF THESE KIDS LIVE IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, WHERE GIRLS ARE THE LEAST LIKELY TO EVER ATTEND PRIMARY SCHOOL.
