Climate change and the charity sector

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in weather patterns and average temperatures, largely caused by human action. The impacts of rising temperatures have already been felt across the world and, if we do not take action, the consequences of further increases could be catastrophic.

Charities should remain at the forefront of climate action. They should lead by example, showing others in our communities how to engage in climate action, how to champion sustainability, and how to protect the planet. But, at the moment, many charities (including ourselves) are not doing enough to address climate change, put sustainability at the heart of their strategy, and take meaningful action. 

In this podcast, our 100th episode, Charity Digital employees explore the relationship between climate change and the charity sector. They discuss, among other things, how to define climate change, how charities can get involved in the fight, the immediate internal actions that charities can take, and so much more.
