Selected Case Studies

Sonia Medina, Executive Director Climate Change, CIFF – Children’s Investment Fund Foundation
The London-based foundation works to improve the lives of children in developing countries who live in poverty. With the climate crisis being the single biggest threat to children, today and in the future, CIFF has tirelessly combined its work on children’s issues with minimising the risk of climate impacts. Integrating a climate lens into CIFF’s portfolio has therefore become critical to fulfil its mission. Read on to learn about the challenges CIFF encountered and why monitoring and tracking is vital in order to maximise the impact.

Mary Robinson, Founder of Mary Robinson Foundation – Climate Justice
"I came quite late to understanding climate change," Mary Robinson once stated referring to her time as a UN High Commissioner. Around 2003, she became acutely aware of the social injustices climate change brings. This led her to think of ‘climate change’ in terms of ‘climate justice’. In our interview, Robinson outlines five layers to this injustice, speaks about what kind of stories work and explains why fearmongering is a poor counsellor.
