Last Mile Climate enables humanitarian organizations to collaborate with private sector companies in solving complex challenges related to adaptation to climate change. This new paradigm does not look at people caught up in humanitarian contexts through the traditional paradigm as beneficiaries with needs, but rather as people who have climate-related challenges that can be overcome by leveraging proven solutions developed by the private sector. The type of challenges that Last Mile Climate was created to tackle are the most complex and wicked problems that are linked to climate change within sectors such as energy, water, health, shelter, and agriculture —many areas where private sector companies already have invested billions of dollars to develop the required solutions. 

 Last Mile Climate’s role is to enable affordable access to these solutions for people living at the last mile through collaborations with traditional humanitarian actors who have the boots on the ground and connections with the people. LMC wants to be the partner of choice for the humanitarian sector when it comes to designing multi-stakeholder partnerships for solving complex climate-related challenges together with the people at the last mile.
