Unstoppable

Climate change remains one of the biggest threats to humanity and will no doubt change the direction of our economies, cultures, and collective futures.  It can be hard, however, to determine the ways in which we can combat such changes given breadth and scale of the changes underway. Thinley Namgyel serves as the Chief Environment Officer for the government of Bhutan and works on the front lines of our changing landscape.  Even though I've known Thinley for more than twenty years - I learned a great deal from our conversation: Water conservation and water flows are one of the largest challenges to Bhutan's future, Bilateral government funding remain crucial to supporting low-income countries and their work on behalf of the environment, Least Developed Countries (LDC) are their own organizing entity and are helping inform some of the most dramatic environmental challenges around the world. We also talked about the intersection of life and climate change - and what we can do to support the wider ecosystem.
