affected peoples and impacted communities
The people of the Global South and Indigenous Peoples worldwide are most vulnerable to climate change. This is because their livelihoods are intimately tied to the land and water, to the diversity of their ecosystems and to their traditional knowledge about these resources.
This knowledge is a fundamental element of the sustainable societies we need to build, and it is now severely threatened by the climate crisis. Friends of the Earth International provides public and political spaces for affected peoples to share their experiences and demand climate justice for their communities.
