Cambodia, Mali and Bolivia

The CCCD wanted to turn the perspective “upside down” – from global climate scenarios, models and predictions to the situation of people in the most vulnerable countries. We therefore met in three vulnerable countries that differ in physical environment, in exposure to climate risks and in political and governance characteristics. Cambodia – the Mekong delta; Mali – a semiarid country; Bolivia – high altitude with a complex geography. In this way, through meetings with governments and villagers, we wanted to make sure that our analysis would be informed by current worries of those affected, where the climate crisis may not be at the top of their agenda, to make sure that our proposals would work for them.
