Climate Conversations
/
Welcome to Climate Conversations, a space where the CLAPs project brings together stories, voices and ideas about how people are responding to climate change. Here you will find videos, interviews, podcasts, webinars, and more that show real-life experiences from communities, researchers, and practitioners working on the ground, showing how these challenges affect people’s lives, affect decisions of where to work and live, and shape how we cope and build resilience. You can also find Climate Conversations on the CLAPs project website.
Interviews

He explains the importance of fairness, empathy, and social resilience, drawing connections between local realities and global responsibilities.
In an interview with Sofia Juliet Rajan of IIHS, Amina Maharjan, senior researcher at Nepal’s ICIMOD, draws on years of experience with mountain communities to show how migration can be a proactive response to climate change.
