Organizations present at the People’s Summit recognized the creation of the International Movement of Affected People as a decisive step toward strengthening global resistance in the face of environmental disasters and the climate crisis

Amazonian experience held this Sunday (November 9), in Belém (PA), connected affected people from five continents through music, history, and the landscapes of the world’s largest tropical forest

With Minister of Women in attendance, the opening table showed the power of internationalism and the collective articulation of affected populations

The event marked the first day of the IV International Meeting of Communities Affected by Dams and the Climate Crisis, that brings together delegations from 45 countries in the Brazilian Amazon

The event, which will take place in Belém (PA) between November 6 and 12, has mobilized people from five continents who are preparing to exchange experiences, strengthen resistance networks, and discuss alternatives to extractivism and the climate crisis

MAB members will participate in Axis 2 of the People’s Summit, which will debate historical reparation, the fight against environmental racism, false solutions, and corporate power

The Movement is included in the six areas of discussion at the Summit, but places special emphasis on the third, which addresses energy transition
