Climate Change
CAFOD photopack
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.
