Instead, as research has confirmed over and over again, increasing greenhouse gas emissions raise the average temperature on earth over time. Therefore, in this edition we share some perspectives on issues related to climate change which may change our planet as we know it.

Ecuadors regering driver en aggressiv utvinningspolitik och gruvkoncessioner, tillstånd att bedriva gruvverksamhet, breder ut sig över stora delar av landet. De nya gruvorna drabbar både urfolksterritorier och naturskyddsområden – och samtidigt framställs människorna som kämpar för att bevara det livsviktiga vattnet och skogarna som ”utvecklingsmotståndare” och ”maffia” av staten.

At this year’s UN climate conference COP23, the host country Fiji tried a new concept called The Open Dialogue which allowed civil society and states to meet.

For the first time in decades, during 2016 global hunger increased instead of decreased. The number? Some 38 million people.
