  • The Lutheran World Federation organised another event inside the COP20 meeting along with many other civil society organisations. Hundreds of peopl stood together for a minutes silence to remember victims of climate change and the slogan used was: Solidarity not just Sympathy. Stop the Madness, Act Now! Year after year, around the dates of the climate talks, extreme weather events linked to climate change cause disasters, the negotatiors express sympathy, but this doesn't get converted into solidarity or decisive deals in the talks.

  • Domingo Ankuash, a Shuar indigenous leader from Morona Santiago, Ecuador, is in Lima for the Tribunal on the Rights of Nature running concurrently with the UN climate talks COP20. Open cast mining in the Condor Cordillera has been approved by the government and already 400 hectares of forest have been cut down to make way for the start of the mining. Indigenous leaders have been bribed, dividing indigenous groups, others have been killed in assassinations or during protests. The area has been militarised, with army and security companies, PR work against the indigenous people promotes government and army lies. A storm is coming for us, it's another invasion, we survived the Spanish, but we don't think we can survive the destruction of the environment we depend on, it's killing us.

  • Jesus Struggling with Climate Change<br />
<br />
Jesús García Hernández, Los Horcones, Langue, Valle<br />
<br />
"The drought has been going on for ten years. It’s due to climate change. Winters were good before. But now we’ve had years without water here. We’ve got dry streams, rivers and wells. We lose our seeds and fertilizers; we even lose our hope sometimes.<br />
<br />
There are families here who haven’t had a harvest for ten years. We’ve all just lost another harvest. We prepared the soil, put in the seeds and fertilizers and, when the first bit of rain came, the plants began growing. Then the rain stopped. We got nothing. Then the rain came again but it was too late. After ten years of drought the people here have used up their reserves and there’s desperation.<br />
 <br />
We’ve had to deepen the wells, but they still dry up. The water is going down - it’s climate change.<br />
 <br />
A lot of people have left the area. Some go to work in other places as labourers or security guards or cleaners. And some risk the journey to the States. What else is there to do?"

Itís important for us to see progress on mitigation, adaptation and the building of resilience, and these all require finance. Our communities are already affected by the impact of climate change, some of our communities are already suffering from extreme hunger because of droughts from climate change, they cannot grow food. Some of our communities are affected by flooding, and they need to build resilience to live in safer conditions.

We are here to bring the message from the faith communities that to overcome the climate change itís not enough with politics and technical issues, we also need value-based changes for the transformations that we need. <br />
<br />
The Church of Sweden has its own environmental work in parishes, where targets are set to reduce the environmental footprint of churches, but we have also divested from fossil fuels completely, and this is a very clear signal that you must look where you have your investments, from a moral point of view. The result of our divestment, financially, is that the returns on our portfolio have improved, so people who are skeptical of divestment financially should take note."

  • "My name is Joe Ware, I'm the Church and Campaigns journalist at Christian Aid based in London.  Weíre all here to get the world on track to a low-carbon planet, one that will tackle climate change and its effects. Itís not just about bringing down emissions, itís also about dealing with the effects that weíve already created, and helping those communities that are suffering the consequences. After 21 attempts, weíre finally at a big meeting where weíre hopeful we are going to get an actual deal which will put us on that pathway. The most important thing is a political signal to the world that this is the direction we are going in. Itís already happening outside of this conference with investors and businesses and all sorts of exciting developments and weíre here to make sure that the politicians and the governments can actually get it written down on paper and make that signal concrete for the world to see. <br />
<br />
Christian Aid is an anti-poverty charity that looks at the cause of poverty, climate change is a cause that we work on and weíre passionate about seeing it get fixed. Weíre fortunate enough to have some very well qualified policy and advocacy staff working with us, and they engage in the process. We believe in tackling the structural causes of poverty. If we can get a good deal, it will make the lives of poor people better around the world."

Climate change has brought prolonged droughts to the area, for several years the rain has been erratic and insufficient, causing loss of crops year after year, and a drop in the water table drying up rivers and wells. ELCA supports projects for the adaptation of communities to climate change, and the perforation of deep wells for drinking water and for irrigation.

  • "My name is Joe Ware, I'm the Church and Campaigns journalist at Christian Aid based in London.  Weíre all here to get the world on track to a low-carbon planet, one that will tackle climate change and its effects. Itís not just about bringing down emissions, itís also about dealing with the effects that weíve already created, and helping those communities that are suffering the consequences. After 21 attempts, weíre finally at a big meeting where weíre hopeful we are going to get an actual deal which will put us on that pathway. The most important thing is a political signal to the world that this is the direction we are going in. Itís already happening outside of this conference with investors and businesses and all sorts of exciting developments and weíre here to make sure that the politicians and the governments can actually get it written down on paper and make that signal concrete for the world to see. <br />
<br />
Christian Aid is an anti-poverty charity that looks at the cause of poverty, climate change is a cause that we work on and weíre passionate about seeing it get fixed. Weíre fortunate enough to have some very well qualified policy and advocacy staff working with us, and they engage in the process. We believe in tackling the structural causes of poverty. If we can get a good deal, it will make the lives of poor people better around the world."

  • Mario Roberto Fernández, coffee farmer with Montaña Verde coffee cooperative, San Luis Planes, Santa Barbara, Honduras. “The damages we’ve had here from the two hurricanes, on top of the pandemic, we’ve seen damages to housing, roads and farms. There’s a combination of problems together. We are very worried, because we can’t see how we’ll get through the year and deliver coffee to our clients, even to get the coffee out of the area. We’ve had losses, we’ve done some analysis in the coop, we’ve completely lost 40 manzanas, the loss of houses. The damage to coffee includes a lot of coffee that dropped while it was green, leaf loss that stops the growth of the coffee beans, and that lowers production and quality, and then we are already suffering from fungal diseases on the farms: anthracnose, coffee tree leaf rust, American coffee leaf spot. Climate change is affecting us in different ways, the rains come when we don’t expect them, then don’t come when we expect them. On my farm there was a lot of leaf loss and green coffee that dropped. In many cases it won’t be worthwhile picking the coffee if the growth is affected and there is damage to the coffee beans. Across the whole coop there will be a big loss, and the economy here will be badly affected.

  • As the water table level continues to drop, many wells have dried out, like this one in El Burillo, Valle, Honduras. Communities have deepened their hand-dug wells up to three times, others have drilled deeper wells, up to 60m deep, with special rigs, but the drought has already lasted seven years in this dry corridor of Central America and is predicted to continue due to climate change..
