Last week, I attended a Tearfund conference in Honduras on behalf of the Ezra Centre. It was all about Climate Change and Environmental Degradation, and with other Tearfun partners from acorss Central America. It was a great week, with a fantastic group of people. We talked alot about the science of climate change and how that is affecting many of the communities here in Central America. The next steps, as we all went back to our organisations, is to work out what we should do differently in order to provent some of the worst effects. Of course Climate Change isn´t going away, and it´s the developed nations that need to make big changes in order to drastically change our prospects - but we can do stuff to lessen the effects of climate change in communities who are most at risk. We were staying in a beautiful Nature reserve. My impression of a whale. (It´s a long story!) With some of the other participants.
