I-DIEM Global

“I-DIEM Global empowers populations worldwide to thrive in the face of climate challenges by advancing equity-centered disaster resilience.”

I-DIEM Global is Essential

Without I-DIEM Global, millions of people will remain on the frontlines of climate change with inadequate protection and unequal recovery. With I-DIEM, funders can invest in a proven model that saves lives, strengthens economies, and builds resilience—equitably and sustainably—across the world.

Our Mission & Approach

Our Mission:

I-DIEM Global empowers populations worldwide to thrive in the face of climate challenges by advancing equity-centered disaster resilience.

Community-Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CMDRR):

I-DIEM Global equips communities worldwide to anticipate, withstand, and recover from disasters by delivering free, accessible, and culturally grounded preparedness courses. By placing knowledge and tools directly in the hands of local people, we transform at-risk populations into resilience leaders—capable of saving lives, protecting livelihoods, and driving lasting change in the face of climate and disaster threats.

Our Approach:

Through community-driven training, risk-smart programs, and strong local partnerships, we empower individuals and organizations—particularly those in underserved and high-risk communities—with the skills and strategies needed to save lives, safeguard livelihoods, and build lasting resilience to disasters.

Our signature initiatives—Community-led Training, Equity Response Teams, Youth Climate Debates, and the Youth Climate Corps—are intentionally crafted for easy replication across small island states, coastal cities, and climate-vulnerable nations worldwide, ensuring global reach and long-term impact.
