3rd Latin American Caravan for Integral Ecology
From September 17 to October 10, the 3rd Latin American Caravan for Integral Ecology will take place and bring together 9 representatives of territories affected by mining that seek to discuss the paradigm of energy transition and how it impacts Latin America. The Caravan lands in Europe accompanied by young advocates (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru) and religious representatives (Peru and Bolivia) for dialogues in Europe (Spain, Belgium, France, Italy, Austria, and Germany).
The Caravan is organised by the Churches and Mining Network – RIM, the Indigenous Missionary Council – CIMI and REPAM – Pan-Amazonian Ecclesial Network. Nine representatives from Latin American territories (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile and Peru) affected by extractivism and mining, will tour 10 cities in 6 European countries (Spain, Belgium, Italy, Austria, France and Germany) to tell different audiences the situation in their territories due to pollution and violation of rights and the new extractivist logics. At the same time, they want to raise their voice with proposals that come from the communities to stop the irreparable advance of climate change and promote other economies in defense of life.
