Our Approach

The people and communities most vulnerable to the risks stemming from climate change are often the last to receive help implementing their own solutions. Atma Connect is a strong proponent of unleashing the creativity and initiative of people at the last mile so they can chart their path to community resilience. We use a mix of technology and human interaction to encourage and enable resident changemakers. We connect people so they can multiply their strengths and amplify their voices to build climate resilience by sharing and documenting their solutions, and attracting needed funding.

How we solve this issue

Digital hub for climate change and resilience

We create digital hubs that enable local climate solutions and changemakers to document and aggregate their impact and access support and resources.

Best practices from local changemakers

We spread best practices developed locally to improve climate resilience and mitigation.

Knowledge sharing between governments, NGOs, and last mile communities

We create solutions for governments and NGOs sharing knowledge and best practices, and engage last mile communities in implementing resilience projects.

Atma Tools for Climate Change and
Resilience

We use technology platforms and community engagement to align and aggregate locally-led changemaking efforts for climate resilience. These tools allow these actions to be aggregated in a way that it becomes a collective accomplishment and achieves impacts that can only be derived from actions at scale.

We use our platforms to support human connections, to make visible the extent of engagement, and to calculate the value of individual and collective efforts. We provide visibility between government, NGOs, and business CSR departments, so then effective solutions can be spread and worthy projects can be implemented.

Custom Digital Solutions

Hubs and Ecosystems for Social Good

Atma Connect is an expert in creating purpose driven online networks that people actually use, and that result in meaningful change. We have conceptualized a platform to aggregate global action on climate change (for Our Planet Our Future), knowledge sharing platforms (for The Nature Conservancy), platforms for sharing of solutions and best practices (for farmers in Indonesia).

We create custom platforms and engagement strategies that help achieve social goals by engaging, inspiring, and creating value for the people who use them.

AtmaGo

Local Platform and Network

AtmaGo is a community’s tool for informing residents about environmental issues and mobilizing them to undertake collective actions for mitigating harms and solving problems. For example, in Indonesia residents regularly use AtmaGo to organize mangrove planting to slow down soil erosion and schedule beach clean-ups to make them safer for humans and animals.

In Puerto Rico, AtmaGo is a way people communicate about community gardens, which become a source of sustenance when large storms interrupt food importation from the mainland.

Community Space

Platform for Communities to Grow

Our Community Impact Platform allows organizations that work on disaster preparedness and response to help residents organize events to mitigate, respond to, and recover from disaster. It helps disaster organizations and community networks coordinate their work, reach new members, and increase participation.

The Community Impact Platform helps organizations track the impact they are having to improve disaster response and recovery through collection of photos, stories and quantifiable goals. Over 160 communities have been created on AtmaGo to generate change, from organizing preparedness events to rebuilding after disaster.

Testimonies from our clients and users

After the disaster, AtmaGo helped us with the recovery effort, so then we get back on our feet by helping each other. We had a campaign to clean up the neighborhood and plant trees together, and others provided seedlings to help with the re-plantation effort.

We organized an activity to plant Mangrove trees on AtmaGo. Mangroves help to provide protection from natural disasters in our area, such as storms, flooding, and reduce the momentum and impact of waves.

We saw AtmaGo campaigns in Lombok or Palu about garbage clean-up. That really inspired us. I said, ‘Why don’t we do it on Car Free Day?' So we worked together with AtmaGo to do this activity after seeing their campaign in Lombok and managed an event in Car Free Day Jakarta!.

On AtmaGo, I posted about how to make crafts for sale out of garbage. My posts motivated my neighbors to make and sell handicrafts and reduced garbage in the neighborhood. I am proud because of my posts my neighborhood has become clean, and we got an award as the cleanest neighborhood in the whole kecamatan (subdistrict)

Community members in Puerto Rico are using AtmaGo to amplify their work to turn waste into an opportunity rather than a problem. Residents have come together to create an organization to collect recyclable materials, and also educate organizations and schools on how to manage their waste.
