Climate change is affecting some people on our planet more than others. To drive real, sustainable change, organisations need to create ESG strategies that redress intersectional imbalances, says chief sustainability officer Dana Haiden
Tackling the climate crisis needs collective action – but we need to get it right. The effects of climate change are not the same around the world. Those in the global south are disproportionately affected by consequences for which the global north is largely considered responsible.
We need to amplify the voices of those who are more affected by climate change but who, so far, have been less heard in the mainstream climate dialogue. We can learn a lot from other communities, cultures, countries and even indigenous wisdom about sustainable practices, appreciation of nature and being true stewards of our planet.
