AFA joined around 2,000 individuals from different NGOs and POs from different countries in a peaceful march to the UN office in Bangkok last October 5 to demand climate justice.
United under the banner of “Asian People’s Solidarity for Climate Change”, the marchers called on the developed countries (the north) to give full reparations for the ecological debt and climate debt they owe to developing countries (the south) and to undertake deep, drastic cuts of GHG emissions through domestic measures, among other demands.
Represented by farmer leaders from Indonesia (API), Philippines (PAKISAMA), Cambodia (FNN), Thailand (SORKORPOR), Taiwan (TWADA), Japan (AINOUKAI), and Korea (KAFF), AFA joined the march just a day before its own consultations on food sovereignty, climate change, and marketing among its members.
