How funders can respond to the climate emergency Podcast

Discussion
-
Lucinda and Emily are joined by Natasha Ratter, environmental sector lead at the Environmental Funders Network, and Rachel Heydecker, senior policy and engagement officer at the Association of Charitable Foundations.
Rachel explains how the ACF’s Funder Commitment on Climate Change is encouraging funders working across a wide range of cause areas to integrate climate considerations into their work. She highlights the opportunity for funders to support immediate and longer-term responses to the climate emergency.
Natasha describes the paralysis felt by many funders who are overwhelmed by the scale of the climate crisis as a key barrier to tackling the emergency, along with difficulties in measuring the impact of climate work.
She cites a blog post written by EFN trustee Nick Addington suggesting how voluntary organisations can play to their strengths in responding to the climate emergency and go further than making operational adjustments.
Also in this episode, news editor Andy Ricketts provides his take on two of the week’s news stories, from a change to NSPCC’s interview protocols to the uncertain future for legacy giving.
