It is Our (the Environmental It is Our (the Environmental Community’s) FaultCommunity’s) Fault
The environmental community for too long has focused on the problems & on playing the blame game
The perception that saving BD or reducing the impact of CC is at the cost of development and involves reducing growth is the worst enemy of conservation actions
WE have failed to show how good environmental practice and development can work together
How can we make sure our voice is heard?
The key is to show how actions that save BD, adapt to and mitigate CC, contribute to, can be a catalyst for, growth and poverty reduction
We need to present the evidence to and use the language of the growth and development community: in Vietnam the targets are MoF, MPI, PM’s Office, PPCs
