Last May 17, CJI hosted a webinar on climate change and the challenges faced by the people who call the Amazon, the Congo Basin and the Boreal forest home. These regions are often described as the planet’s lungs – they absorb enormous amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and breathe out oxygen. These regions and their people encounter pressure to resist unabated resource extraction and development, often without free, prior and informed consent.

Listen to Rigobert Minani SJ, Laura Vicuña Pereira Manso CF, Ron Thiessen and Stephanie Thorassie share their experiences on working and living in these regions
