The drought in this area is believed to be an effect of climate change.

  • A boy grins as he walks across a foot bridge in the Suburban neighborhood of Rodriguez, Rizal, in the Philippines. Most of the community's families were relocated here from other area of Manila and the nearby countryside to make way for urban renewal projects or to move them out of harm's way. Yet the new community was hit hard by Typhoon Ketsana in 2009, and Christian Aid, a member of the ACT Alliance, provided emergency relief supplies. Over the years since, with help from Christian Aid and other groups, community members have organized themselves and engaged in a process of disaster risk reduction, including identifying and mapping high-risk zones and evacuation routes in their area. Christian Aid has also assisted with financial and technical support for income generating livelihood projects and community enterprises.

The river has dried up in recent years, along with many other rivers in the region, this is thought to be partly from stripping of vegetation and forest cover in the watersheds that feed the rivers in the south, and also due to the influence of climate change. The IPCC predicted a likelihood of reduced rainfall in the region. Agriculture has already been failing in the area for eight years because of drought conditions.

Quilombos are remote hinterland settlements in Brazil set up by escaped slaves of African origin. Though most of them were destroyed by slave owners and the Brazilian state, today there are around 5,000 recognised quilombos in Brazil. Slavery was legal in Brazil for four centuries and some five million slaves were brought to Brazil, most of them from the Angola area. Today the largest population of people of African descent in the world, with the exception of Nigeria, is Brazil.

  • Under the bridge in Registro, São Paulo, Brazil. The Ribeira de Iguape is the largest river in São Paulo State, 470kms long and is unusual in the region because it has no dams on it, but dams are planned here. Organised opposition to the dams has stopped a dam being built at Tijuco Alto already, and is actively opposed to the building of another three proposed dams in the area.<br />
<br />
The Movement by People Affected by Dams, (Movimento dos Atingidos por Baragems, MAB) says that the construction of dams and the flooding of valleys forces the displacement of people particularly indigenous groups and quilombolos (members of the 5,000+ historical rural communities begun by escaped slaves) and destoys livelihoods. Many of those most affected are indigenous people, quilombolos, poor farmers, landless workers, fishermen, who are not consulted, yet their lives are affected or their livelihoods ruiined by dams.<br />
<br />
Because of climate change we have an increase in extreme weather events, droughts and floods, and new records are being set for heavy rainfall, We can get so much rain that dams can collapse. Disasters are quite rare because  flood gates can be opened, but opening floodgates also causes flooding, it can cause damage and destruction of building and towns and crops, it can ruin livelihoods and kill people. In São Paulo state, because of heavy rainfall, floodgates were recently opened on nearby Capivari river at the UHE Perigot de Souza dam, flooding Eldorado and other towns. The company that owns the dam (Copel - Companhia Paranaense de Energia)  denies responsability for the damages.<br />
<br />
Sustainable renewable energy is preferable to emission-creating fossil fuel burning, but the human, cultural and environmental cost of giant hydroelectric projects is high and needs to be considered much more carefully. Successive governments in Brazil have made decisions to hand over land to privately-owned energy companies, and their main motivation is profit, not the wellbeing of Brazili

Most of the community's families were relocated here from other area of Manila and the nearby countryside to make way for urban renewal projects or to move them out of harm's way. Yet the new community was hit hard by Typhoon Ketsana in 2009, and Christian Aid, a member of the ACT Alliance, provided emergency relief supplies. Over the years since, with help from Christian Aid and other groups, community members have organized themselves and engaged in a process of disaster risk reduction, including identifying and mapping high-risk zones and evacuation routes in their area. Christian Aid has also assisted with financial and technical support for income generating livelihood projects and community enterprises.

  • Workers construct a bridge on a new highway being built in the Chaco region, including a largely Wichi indigenous area near Santa Victoria Este in northern Argentina. The Wichi, who traditionally survived as hunter-gatherers, have struggled against the systematic expropriation of their land for over a century by mestizo cattleraisers who migrated into the region from elsewhere in Argentina. Modern transportation has facilitated the arrival of outsiders, both to raise cattle and to grow soybeans for export. In 2014, the indigenous and mestizos finally agreed on a division of the land which recognizes the traditional land rights of indigenous communities, and which resettles many mestizo families onto non-indigenous land. Church World Service has worked as a partner with local residents as they negotiated the landmark settlement.

  • Father Mike Bassano, a Maryknoll priest from the United States, walks inside the Protection of Civilians area inside the United Nations base in Malakal, South Sudan. <br />
<br />
Some 35,000 people live in the camp, protected by UN peacekeeping troops. They were displaced from Malakal following the outbreak of a civil war in 2013. The armed conflict has a strong element of ethnic tension, and the mostly Shilluk and Nuer residents of the camp fear for their security from the largely Dinka population that has moved into their former town.            <br />
<br />
Bassano, also a member of Solidarity with South Sudan, an international network of Catholics supporting the new country, lives in the camp.
