Acting on climate change
This Guarani-Kaiowa community was almost burnt out
in an arson attack in 2021. To survive they have to
renovate and rebuild in the best ecological and
sustainable way possible. Proposed by IMAD, a secular
group of mainly academics, is a plan for a
multi-purpose building for which a great
amount of construction work has already
been done.
IMAD In English is The Institute for
Environment and Development.

The fields and crops are also important factors that
include: biodiversity, traditional seeds, reforestation,
better earth management and agroforestry.
The goal is to build a model adaptable by rural
communities undergoing hardship due to degraded
environments and the burdens of climate change. Our
problem is that our work to date has required
expensive loans to pay for building materials and
outstanding labour costs.
COP26 in Glasgow made similar findings and we are
in accord with their findings. Ditto the Stern Review.

We want to sponsor such a movement responding to Glasgow, COP26
findings, with help wherever possible. However expensive loans have
been necessary to buy building materials and pay labour costs as in
the construction of the building below.

Traditional Agriculture
• Bulldozers, land clearing, deforestation • Fires and a “scorched earth” approach • Monoculture, single crop farming • Cattle and high methane emissions • Chemicals sprays/fertilisers • Environmental degradation • Power imbalance and inequalityRevised Agricultural Practice
• Biodiversity at centre • Sustainable • Agroforestry / forest gardens • Eco corridors for fauna • A degraded Area Recovery Plan • Enhancing soil for climate. • A model for limiting global warming • Limiting carbon and methane emissions Other developments may include: • Sale of food products • A bicycle repair shop • A furniture construction business • Ecotourism and visitors centre
