Is Climate the New Compass for Global Development Policy?

Welcome to Global Development Review, where we unpack the big questions shaping our shared future.In this episode, hosted by Dr. Jaffer Latief Najar, we ask a defining question for our era:👉 Is climate the new compass for global development policy?As the impacts of climate change deepen, from rising sea levels to forced displacement, food insecurity, and shifting economic priorities, the global development agenda is being redefined. No longer can progress be measured only in terms of economic growth or poverty reduction. Today, the challenge is how to build resilience, equity, and cooperation in a world shaped by environmental limits and social interdependence.To explore this transformation, we’re joined by two leading voices at the intersection of climate, development, and justice:🎙️ Guest 1: Dr. Tabea LissnerDirector for Climate Change, Robert Bosch Foundation (Germany)Dr. Lissner brings over 15 years of experience connecting science and policy to advance global climate action. As a Lead Author of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report, her work bridges climate models with real-world adaptation needs of vulnerable communities.In this conversation, she reflects on:How the climate crisis is reshaping traditional development goalsWho benefits or risks being left behind in a climate-centered policy worldWhat forms of international cooperation and finance are needed for equitable transformation🎙️ Guest 2: Anila NoorFounder, New Women Connectors | Refugee Activist (Netherlands)Anila Noor shares insights from her advocacy for inclusion, migration, and gender justice. Her organization, New Women Connectors, amplifies the voices of refugee and migrant women, redefining inclusion as participation and leadership — not just integration.She discusses:How climate change drives migration and human mobilityWhy displaced communities must be recognized as agents of resilienceThe ongoing struggle for grassroots and refugee-led organizations to be treated as equal partners in shaping climate and gender justice agendas💡 Guiding Questions We ExploreHow is the climate crisis reframing the goals of global development?Can climate become a fair and inclusive compass for international cooperation?What happens when climate action risks reinforcing old inequalities?How can migration and inclusion be understood as part of climate resilience, not as a problem to be managed?Join Dr. Jaffer Latief Najar and his guests as they unpack how climate is not just an environmental issue, but a new guiding principle for justice, inclusion, and development in the 21st century.🎧 Listen.
