| Abstract | International development actors are making a mad dash to incorporate climate change issues into their programming. It's becoming increasingly difficult to fund or justify any development intervention in the Global South that does not in some way include climate-responsive action, be it mitigation or adaptation. This paper was authored by Angela Huston (IRC) and Kelly Latham (Water For People). It introduces five systemic issues that international development actors could help tackle as part of their climate action, to reduce climate vulnerability in the Global South, through systemic poverty alleviation. The paper was published on behalf of One For All, but does not reflect the official views of all One For All alliance members. It is intended to foster and encourage debate among the alliance members, partners and wider audiences. About One For AllOne For All was founded on the belief that we can go faster and further together. Solving for SDG 6 (water and sanitation for all) requires urgent, innovative, collective action as we face the growing impacts of the climate crisis and other interconnected challenges on people's lives. |
