Climate change is an important issue – arguably the most important issue – that we face today. It affects us all, but CAFOD knows that it affects people in developing countries first and worst
A global challenge: Climate change affects us all – and it’s up to every one of us to do something about it!
Bangladesh: CAFOD knows that the people affected FIRST and WORST by climate change are the people least able to cope!
Bangladesh: CAFOD is supporting people living poverty so they can adapt to the effects of climate change in their lives
CAFOD in Cambodia: CAFOD is supporting a local organisation that helps people use sustainable methods for farming – like tapping rubber from trees!
CAFOD in Mozambique: CAFOD supports and educates young people here too, to help them develop sustainable farming skills
Niger: CAFOD partners show people new and effective ways to retain water in areas with low rainfall, like digging half-moons into sloped land.
Kenya: CAFOD is working with partners in Kenya to help communities cope with drought.
Brazil: Trees are lost in the Amazon at the rate of a football pitch about every eight seconds. 80 per cent of logging in the Brazilian Amazon is illegal.
Guatemala: CAFOD partners train people to plant soil-retaining trees to help prevent huge mudslides like this one in Panabaj.
