[Interview] Camelia Dewan on how ‘climate change’ is becoming a development buzzword to continue business as usual
Summary by Ground News
Camelia Dewan is an environmental anthropologist and assistant professor at Uppsala University in Sweden. Dewan studied what the rising global interest in funding climate action meant in a Global South country like Bangladesh. She found that development actors used climate change to secure funding, even if the projects had little to do with mitigating climate impacts. The perception of Bangladesh as a climate victim has led to the deployment of ill-suited solutions.
