27. Confronting injustice with collective action – IIED's new manifesto

Make Change Happen

IIED has launched a 'Manifesto for a thriving world’ and the need for new responses to a range of compounding crises, greater uncertainty and growing injustice. In this episode, the chair of IIED's board of trustees Tara Shine and trustee John Taylor discuss the intitute's plans for the future and changing ways of working. Tom Mitchell, IIED's executive director, stresses the importance of IIED being outward looking and being grounded in evidence and including the knowledge and voices of Indigenous Peoples and local communities. And Crissy Guerrero of the Non-Timber Forest Products Exchange Programme in Asia gives a practical example, outlining a certification scheme designed by forest producers to replace a system created by external parties for designating what can be labelled as organic.
