Civil society organisations, particularly climate and environmental groups, play a critical role in addressing climate change and benefiting society. However, like all organisations, they also leave an ecological footprint.
In this episode, we talk with Mattias Söderberg, Global Climate Lead at DanChurchAid, and explore their groundbreaking initiative to calculate their historical climate footprint and take responsibility for their greenhouse gas emissions over the past 100 years of operations. We hear about the motivations behind this effort, the challenges encountered, and the key findings. We also delve into the broader role of civil society in addressing the climate crisis and the importance of “walking the talk” when advocating for climate action.
DanChurchAid is a Danish humanitarian non-governmental organisation that has existed for more than 100 years and aims to strengthen the world’s poorest people in their struggle for a life in dignity.
