Annual report 2019

In 2019, Climate Solidarity explicitly became Geres’ cause, reflecting its twofold ambition to combat both poverty and climate change. It is the driver of all our fieldwork and mobilization to bring about a fair, ambitious energy transition.

In practical terms, this means the day-to-day mobilization and commitment of 140 women and men who are working, together with our partners in the field, in Cambodia, Myanmar, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Morocco, Mali, Benin and Senegal, as well as France, in the Provence-Alpes Côted’Azur region and at the association’s HQ in Aubagne.

Faced today with health, political and economic uncertainties, the risks of growing poverty, inequalities and human rights violations, not to mention the risk of overlooking the measures needed to tackle the climate emergency, the only constructive option is to stay mobilized and in solidarity.

Our thanks to all who regularly join forces with and support us to take forward the cause of Climate Solidarity.
