The ClimaCleando project continues its journey and since last week its route has been rolling along the southern coast of Ecuador, bringing a clear message of awareness and action against climate change to each of its stops.ClimaCleando is made up of a team of 7 young people from the city of Quito, between 23 and 30 years of age; who are also part of the Kitulectivo collective and for several years have been linked to youth groups whose axes have been the themes of the environment and climate change.
The project, which began several months ago, had an initial stage of research and identification of organizations, groups, collectives, initiatives and research that work on climate change issues in Ecuador, in order to understand how they operate, the actions they carry out and their motivations for working.
The ClimaCleando project has traveled nearly 3,000 km and plans to continue during its development in this final stage. During its stops, it also collects testimonies about how climate change has impacted the populations and ecosystems of Ecuador.
Talks and discussions on the problem of climate change, its impact on the country and the importance of taking action in this regard with the aim of being drivers of change are the latest axis of this proposal that left Quito at the end of April and has visited more than 50 stops in the Amazon, mountains and coast of Ecuador.
