Asar at 10
Over the past decade, Asar has worked with partners across geographies to build climate resilience through decentralised networks rooted in local knowledge, collaboration, and sub-national action. Guided by a mycelium-inspired philosophy, our work connects communities, policymakers, researchers, and communicators to enable grounded, long-term climate solutions. This page curates stories, reflections, and milestones from our 10-year journey, bringing together the people, partnerships, and learnings that have shaped Asar’s evolving ecosystem of climate action.
