ACAPS

First, I'm far from a neutral actor in this discussion.

I've spent the past fifteen years of my professional life building ACAPS, trying to position it as an independent analytical voice, speaking exactly to the issues we discuss on this episode.

So of course, I carry a heavy bias towards the importance of independent actors as a necessary complement to the mainstream system.

I try to fight that bias, uh, as a good host and, and enable a good discussion, but you'll no doubt hear it bubbling up here and there.

For international audiences, Madagascar's experience shows how climate impacts can become long-term humanitarian and development challenges.
