Around the world, many projects are being promoted with claims that they are helping #Adaptation to climate change. But many of them raise concerns over equality and human rights, while nearly all have significant carbon and ecological footprints. A more honest approach requires that we break with past assumptions. Initiatives, based on the systems that allowed global heating to reach a crisis, will not help us respond well to that crisis, as it worsens over time. Policy and funding must catch up with previously expressed commitments, and beyond that, initiatives need to consider the bad-to-worse scenarios and address the psychological aspects of adaptation. We need to support the people who are actually working to restore the natural balance of our planet, like our guest, Dr. Stella Nyambura Mbau, who describes her work with #RegenerativeAgroforestry in sub-Saharan Africa. Dr Lisa Schipper, Coordinating Lead Author of the IPCC Report on Climate Resilient Development Pathways, focuses on the causes of vulnerability to climate change in developing countries, and the barriers and enablers that are at work as people struggle to adapt to changing conditions in their countries. She coined the term #Maladaptation to describe the failure to adequately respond to the climate crisis.
