Season 2: Episode 2 - COP28 – A climate for humanitarian change
Humanitarian and climate policies are intrinsically linked. What humanitarians do, no matter how well-intentioned, has an impact on the environment and the communities in which they serve.
With a 20-year feedback loop around emissions that are released today and how they're experienced on the ground, how can humanitarians ensure they’re helping to alleviate suffering, and not adding to it for future generations?
In this episode of I Think You’re On Mute, your host Beth Eggleston explores COP28 and why it’s important for the humanitarian sector to be engaged, what we’re looking to see, and the steps we can take to green the humanitarian system, with climate experts and researchers Jessica Van Son, Jesse McCommon, and Dr Vili Iese.
