Poverty reduction & climate protection: Not a contradiction, but an inseparable unity

We are currently witnessing fierce battles over funding: 'Should money be spent on climate protection or on people?’ some ask - a letter from Bill Gates just before the COP30 climate conference in Brazil has recently fuelled this debate.

If this connection is not better understood, the international community risks leaving the most vulnerable even further behind. A recent article highlights how this gap between development and climate policy is widening (see, for example, the criticism of Bill Gates' approach).
