EQUATORIAL VOICES NETWORK
Here we talk directly to each other, person to person, across the boundaries of our different nations and tribes, regions and ways of life. We come to care about each other. And, together, we find—often in each other’s stories—the answers that our communities need to survive and to even help overcome, the worsening climate crisis

Why EVN exists
It all started a couple of years ago, these dialogues on climate, with us sharing our own stories—about what was happening in each of our countries and what we were doing in response—and inviting others to show up and share their experiences and insights. As we’ve heard each other out, in dialogue, we’re learning of surprising sometimes enlightening differences.
In all of it, we’re discovering just how many of even our toughest challenges we actually have in common—and how much we can offer some help on. Water. Food. Shelter. Peace-making. Safety. Restoring the soil. Helping our people understand the climate crisis. Reclaiming traditional solutions. Creating new ones. Read more
Advancing the work of each and all
EVN members are all deeply involved in local, and often national or global actions, to increase the health of our lands and our peoples–and to connect our communities even across continents to help each other survive—and together—to overcome the planetary crisis that we are all now a part of.

Influencing global understandings and actions
As we learn from each other we see also see the more clearly the absolute necessity not only to expand our own capacities—working on an emergency basis with all our countrymen, but to strongly shape global policies as well. We take every opportunity to learn from —but also to inform and to influence—the other regions on our planet whose decisions and actions have such a big impact on the futures of our own lands.
Working person to person, in ever sector, and even across all regions, we seek to achieve that much greater unity—and power—to stop the harm coming from bad global policies, many long standing—but some brand new, even well-intentioned. Read more
