Oxfam & Waterbear present Climate Dispatches

Three climate activists. Three stories. One crisis that affects us all.

Voices at the frontline of the climate crisis too often go unheard, sidelined at world summits and in the media. Making the invisible, visible, Climate Dispatches raise these urgent stories.

Three climate activists invite you to join the fight for justice as they share their personal experiences living in Peru, Kenya and The Philippines; countries increasingly vulnerable as the climate crisis takes hold.

Their stories are our stories

Marinel Ubaldo, Climate Activist

I can't do it alone. We can't do it alone. We need everybody to be on board.”

Pavel Martiarena, climate activist.

They have taken so much from us, but they will not take away the most important things: hope and the strength to keep fighting.”
