CARITAS BRESIL

Caritas Brazil: Thematic group on "climate and poverty"

Caritas Brazil was founded in 1956 to defend and promote all forms of life and to participate in the solidarity-based construction of a society of well-being alongside people in situations of vulnerability and social exclusion.

Caritas' work is based on three main mechanisms: structured programs, citizen mobilization, and the National Solidarity Fund. These initiatives target various areas, such as food security, risk management, youth empowerment, and support for refugees.

Project activities

Caritas Brazil is part of the "Climate and Poverty" thematic group, working on projects linking climate and poverty, at the heart of Secours Catholique's RevE (Ecological Revolution for a Just and Fraternal World) initiative. The actions undertaken have strengthened Secours Catholique's expertise on the social accessibility of the ecological transition, through a policy brief for COP 30, the creation of the Ecology-Poverty Fresco, and active advocacy on French public policies (National Low-Carbon Strategy (SNBC), Solidarity Pact).
