From global to local: GRET’s new climate strategy, April 2022
Published on 4 April 2022
Increased risks of flooding, intensification of rainy seasons, desertification… The impacts of the climate crisis are increasingly visible across the world and new challenges must be taken into account when implementing development projects.
In light of this, at the extraordinary General Assembly of 7 April 2022, GRET’s first climate strategy was adopted. The latter concerns the organisation itself and its projects in the field.
Two main issues were identified:
• Adaptation, so that populations can become more resilient to cope with the impacts of climate change.
• Mitigation, to contribute to reducing worldwide greenhouse gas emissions (GGEs) to limit the intensity of the expected impacts of climate change.
