Comm-UNITY! Podcast Season 10 | Introduction

Theme: A growing movement of philanthropy taking action on climate change.

In the month of July and August, residents of Eastern Uganda had the gut-wrenching experience of losing loved ones, their homes, livestock and livelihoods because of floods from heavy rains.

Back in the heart of a very hyper-urban Kampala, every downpour is a waterlogged reminder of the essence of wetlands which we do not see that much of anymore.

Karamoja on the other hand has taken a direct hit from the food insecurity that comes with climate change. These few scenarios are a drop in the ocean of the impact of climate change. What we thought was a far-off occurrence is a present-crisis that we need to address. Who is going to address it if we don’t? Who is going to change if we won’t?

In Season 10 of the Comm-Unity Podcast, we take you on a journey of climate philanthropy that is powered by the generosity of communities, foundations and philanthropy support organisations from Africa and all over the world. We’ll hear from those that have joined one of the greatest climate philanthropy movements, a movement led by the Worldwide Initiative for Grant makers Support.
