A partnership that aims to help vulnerable populations deal with environmental risks – between the French branch of aid charity Care International and the global insurance giants the AXA Group – has been renewed for a further three years.
The partnership – which was first established in 2011 – will be worth €2.3m (£1.9m) to Care France, with the French-owned multinational supporting climate change projects in India and Thailand, disaster risk reduction projects in Central and South America, and helping to raise awareness of environmental hazards.
Since 2011, AXA says the partnership has helped 750,000 people in eight countries, as well as helping Care France secure €3.5m (£2.9m) matched funding from the EU and national governments.
