Though shifting climatic patterns and extreme weather events harm us all, we continue to see that they affect poor and marginalized communities worse. Here, the international NGO community has a critically important role to play by advocating for climate-aware policies.
In 2020, nearly 100 organizations committed to the original NGO Climate Compact. InterAction knew the urgency of this work then, but in the years that have passed since its launch, the increased frequency and severity of disasters, as well as their compounding impacts on other global crises, has only heightened the importance of concerted climate action.
InterAction launched the second iteration of the Climate Compact in April 2023 to renew the initial commitments and provide additional guidance around more concrete and robust organizational actions to address climate change.
