About this Event
We'll be joined by Maria Silvanete Lermen and Deybison Silva De Albuquerqe from the State of Pernambuco in Brazil. They are leaders of the two Afro-descendant grassroots associations: Chã da Terra (Maria) and Quilombo do Catucá (Deybison).
Our guests will talk about the community-led response to the floods that have affected the State of Pernambuco in May 2022, which were the deadliest in 40 years in Brazil. They will also share about the everyday consequences of climate change in their territories.
