Climate advocacy

Advocacy is any action that speaks in favor of, recommends, argues for a cause, supports, or defends, or pleads on behalf of others, in relation to political structures, polices and decisions.

Formal and informal authorities have the opportunity and the responsibility to play a significant role in enabling and supporting sustainable development and climate action.

DanChurchAid therefore pursues progressive advocacy with ambitious efforts to influence policymakers and other duty bearers to make decisions that address climate change and environmental harm.

Our efforts focus on advocating for more finance to support the communities that we work with to scale up climate action.

This is done through political dialogue, strategic communication, stakeholder management, and public campaigns that are informed by research and lessons learned from our own projects.

DanChurchAid engages partners all over the world in its climate advocacy to build connections between advocacy at local, national and global levels.
