Hey, I'm Fabiola Ortiz from Rio de Janeiro
I'm Elena, I come from Italy
I'm Ido, I'm a journalist based in Israel
I'm Silvia from Italy and I'm an environmental freelance journalist
Hello, I'm Stevan and together with other environmental journalists
I'm part of the Climate News Mosaic network
You've probably heard before that climate change is set to have all sorts of impacts around the world
and governments are working to address this challenge.
But what does it mean from the from the local point of view?
I'm in the middle of a beautiful forest in Bosnia and Herzegovina
which was attacked this summer by insect bark beetle
damaging leaves and decreasing tree volume increment.
And this is not happening for the first time.
Some experts pointed out, that climate change and temperature rise
could be the reason for insect outbreaks.
Recent studies say that in the next 50 to 100 years
climate change will seriously put at risk the cultivation of typical products here in Tuscany --
grapevines and olive trees.
Experts say that if nothing is done
sea level rise could endanger Israel's coastal infrastructure,
and could also damage archeological sites.
Weather in Brazil may become hotter 6 degrees in a century.
And that means precipitation will fall dramatically, putting at risk biodiversity and water supply.
The low-income population will be the first group to suffer the impacts of climate change.
And people living on the coast are as well vulnerable.
The sea level rise in the Venice lagoon, the threat to biodiversity in the Mediterranean region
and the glaciers retreating in the Alps are just a few examples.
With the CNM project we want to change that.
In November government officials from around the world will be gathering in Warsaw, Poland,
to negotiate ways to tackle climate change.
And we will be there.
And in the U.S.
And in Mali
And Germany, and Brazil, and Nigeria and some other places around the world.
In fact, the Climate News Mosaic live blog is where we will be sharing snippets of our reporting
to highlight local perspectives on the global climate talks.
In turn, these inputs will be incorporated in the reporting that we do individually for our media back home.
What's more, during the climate summit we will also be holding live Google Hangouts with some of our team members
to keep you all posted about the latest developments in the talks, and what they look like from around the world.
And we want you to be part of this.
Your donation can really help us realize this project,
and change the way climate change is reported in the media.
We hope you join us. Toda.
Grazie.
Hvala Vam.
Muita obrigada. Thank you very much.
