With the Shared Resources Joint Solutions programme, we have focused on building the capacity of local civil society organisations that are on the front line of strengthening climate resilience, water supply and food security for local communities,\u2019 says Omer van Renterghem, senior policy advisor on water and environment for the Netherlands\u2019 Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"block block-container small-12 large-offset-1 large-10\">\n<p>\u2018The first step is always the hardest. To safeguard biodiversity, the engagement with business is crucial for civil society actors.
