"This issue of Community & Habitat comes out in the time for the celebration of
PRRM's 56th anniversary and focuses on a major concern of today--- climate
change and resilience. The articles span the issues of climate justice and
adaption, energy and food security, stories about how thw communities PRRM
had chosen to serve are dealing with them. We believe beneath every crisis of this nature lies the problem of
governance and therefore a key to the solution is a Citizen's Movement for
Good Governance."
Conrado S. Navarro
In this issue of Community & Habitat, coming out IN time for the 56th anniversary of PRRM, we focus on the theme of climate change. Here we try to understand what it means, not so much its science and math but more about its impact on our lives. We stress climate justice, we look at how people are adapting. We also tell stories about how some PRRM communities are dealing with the problem. Climate change shows itself in many of our present troubles, now starkly in rising food and oil prices. When in crisis situation like we’ve never seen before, oil and food are a deadly combination. Agriculture and fisheries, and all their associated activities, run on oil. Why are we in this situation? Maybe it’s peak oil, maybe the earth can no longer feed so many people. >> More |
