This podcast is part of Groupe URD’s series “Humanitarianism taken at its word”. A short programme that examines the aid sector through its major words. Each word is dealt with from a number of angles, and each programme features a guest who specialises in the issue in question.
This first series of podcasts looks at the issue of greenwashing, the practice of using ecological arguments simply to improve an organisation’s image. This is obviously a subject that goes beyond the humanitarian aid sector, but it does not spare it either.
To discuss this multi-faceted issue, three podcasts will look at three specific examples. In this episode, Marion Reinosa, Groupe URD’s Climate Advisor, explains how so-called “nature-based” solutions are also a form of greenwashing in the humanitarian aid sector.
