When the Rain Stopped Coming: Turning Climate Forecasts into Early Action
What does anticipatory action look like in practice? Our new film, produced in partnership with Start Network, takes viewers to Zimbabwe to see how communities are preparing for climate shocks before they become humanitarian crises.
Produced by the Trafigura Foundation and Start Network, When the Rain Stopped Coming shows how communities in Zimbabwe are preparing for drought before it becomes a crisis.
The film showcases Start Ready, an anticipatory action programme that helps vulnerable communities act ahead of floods, droughts and other climate shocks.
Because when climate risks can be predicted, we can act sooner.
Through the Foundation’s support, Start Ready is helping more than 800,000 people across 10 countries prepare before disaster strikes.
Watch the film to see anticipatory action in practice.
