Xabier Díaz de Cerio in conversation with Katherine Maldonado

The ABC of Peru’s climate

Arequipa 2024, Wednesday 6 November 2024

Xabier Díaz de Cerio is a writer and journalist of Spanish origin, known for his work on matters related to ecology and sustainability, and for his dedication to documenting the environmental matters and challenges faced by Latin America. In his new book, Abecedario Climático Peruano, he presents over a hundred illustrated words, with stories and photos collected in the coastal, mountain and rainforest regions of Peru over the course of fifteen years. The work highlights the local "eco-heroes" who lead climate action, while also preserving ancestral knowledge, and it combines personal testimonies with an analysis of the effects of climate change on different communities.
