, changed with access to safe water or sanitation.

This year we have increased access to safe water and sanitation for people in need and turned poverty into possibility, because of you.

While the world moved toward a state of normalcy this year, our vision of safe water and sanitation for all remained essential in all that we do.

Thank you for helping get safe water into the homes and hands of people around the world who need it most.

We will expand our work around the world, increasing our focus on infrastructure through partnerships with water utilities, and continue to break down the financial barriers between people and access to safe water.

We empower people living in poverty with access to small, affordable loans for water and sanitation solutions at home — unlocking education, economic opportunity and improved health.

We work with 150 partners around the world In Indonesia, we work with various partners to increase affordable access to safe water and sanitation to families in their communities.

Through a program called PAMSIMAS, the government provides stimulants for villages to develop community-based water supply and sanitation systems in rural areas.

An organization called the Rural Drinking Water Supply (locally known as KPSPAMS) was formed to manage the development of the program at the village level.

To ensure all households can access the water and sanitation systems, our partner financial institutions in Indonesia support the KPSPAMS by providing small loans for water and sanitation connections to the community.

to support small loans that brought safe water and sanitation to people in need.

Small, affordable loans offer families the ability to purchase long-term safe water and sanitation solutions that solve their immediate need and over time will cost less than continuing to pay for temporary fixes.

Although we experienced some challenges due to the pandemic, loans for water and sanitation made by our partners continue to maintain an overall repayment rate of 99%.

Every repaid loan means another family can get safe water at home.

Together, we will see the day when everyone in the world has access to safe water and sanitation.

As the stories and examples in this report show, the year brought with it an undeniable shift in the way many people have come to view the importance of nature as we race to confront the climate crisis and global biodiversity loss.

As I met with leaders, experts and activists at November’s COPconference in Glasgow, Scotland, for example, the idea that nature can be a powerful force for climate solutions was at the center of the dialogue.

This is why we have been compelled to launch the boldest goals ever for The Nature Conservancy.

For more than do critical conservation by working together with partners.

As we begin another year of this pivotal decade for nature, the conservation community must build a bigger tent.

At The Nature Conservancy, we know we cannot address the biodiversity and climate crises without also elevating the leadership of the people who are best positioned to take action.

The recent climate and biodiversity commitments we’ve seen from governments and corporations give me hope, but we know that these commitments are only the first step.

At TNC, we aren’t just pushing for our own conservation successes; we’re also working alongside governments, businesses and communities to turn policies and commitments into powerful action for nature.

In Belize, for instance, we were able to help protect part from future carbon offsets, and we helped create a new financial mechanism that will reduce the country’s debt burden while generating significant funding for marine conservation.

we saw almost on carbon markets that could help generate new finance streams for forest and wetland protection, as well as transitions to clean energy.

That said, there is still a long way to go to close the enormous funding gap needed to protect nature.

Our work to drive greater participation, policy and innovative funding in pursuit of a world where nature and people thrive is only possible thanks to our incredible community of partners, supporters and volunteer leaders around the globe.

Every acre we protect, every river mile we restore, every tree we plant and ounce of carbon we help sequester from the atmosphere begins with you.

Thank you for being part of our efforts to build a brighter future for people and nature around the globe.

We are facing the interconnected crises of rapid climate change and biodiversity loss that threaten the future of life on our planet.

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are now higher than they were in preindustrial times, and human emissions have already increased the average temperature of the planet by about 1.1 degrees C (2 degrees F).

As we consider these global-scale problems and our role in shared global commitments like the Paris Climate Agreement, the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity and the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals, we know this calls for our biggest, most ambitious plans yet.
