Welcome, Dear Readers
We’re coming to the end of this journey by your side. The 4th edition of Voices for Just Climate Action Magazine is the final step of the beautiful trajectory of the VCA Programme in Brazil.
We say heartwarming goodbyes, sure that the foundation laid over the last five years is solid. As a small tributary, our movement grew, merging with other waters, gaining weight, and becoming the beautiful, big river that flows into a sea of solutions, innovations, and connections that each of the 120+ organisations supported offers to the world. These are proposals and actions that may not stop the course of Climate Change, but that contribute to making its effects less unjust and unequal.
It is the so-called Climate Justice that this magazine sought to make known and recognised. Climate justice reminds us that Climate change has led to responsible actors and that they are not the most affected ones by the crisis. It makes us understand that it is precisely the populations that contribute the least to the problem and that offer the most solutions to mitigate and adapt that are the most affected and made vulnerable in these emergency times.
The voices of these people need to be present in decision-making spaces ever more often. They need to be heard in all available channels. They need to win the world. Voices Magazine was a humble contribution to building this narrative that needs to cross people and frontiers and become a part of our daily lives.
Throughout these four editions, which were collectively built, we gathered an enormous diversity of voices and visions of the world. We published 80 stories, 18 opinion articles by 80 writers. These contributions came from the entire Amazon, as well as from partners in other territories in Brazil and around the world. We received stories and articles from five countries in our allies’ Global South, which are in the Voices Across the World section. In the Artistic Climate Vibes section, we have also shared 24 artivism initiatives. These are actions that join art and activism, moving people and reaching places that only art could reach. At Xibé Climático, our space for feeding ourselves with climate content, we shared 28 initiatives and materials. All of it is available in Portuguese and English, ensuring that the voices will echo overseas and that this is a global movement. 3700 magazines were printed and distributed worldwide; the magazine also had 4000 online views from 37 countries.
At COP30 – the first Amazonian COP of history and one of the most important and decisive ones – we invite you to dive into our final edition. But not just that. We hope you can help us take our stories even further, so their reach can be much bigger than the numbers suggest. After all, they can be multiplied by your own voices, echoing the fundamental work of each VCA organisation and the importance of continuing to fight for Climate Justice, always.
A heartfelt thanks,
VCA Brazil Regional Team
