"Adopt a tree, not a weapon": climate action and peacebuilding

The climate crisis is a reality today in the Republic Democratic Republic of the Congo and elsewhere in the world. And curiously, it affects people from disproportionate way. Populations in conflict zones are the most exposed to this threat. The Amani-Institute ASBL organization, which is a socio-cultural movement bringing together young volunteers working to promote the culture of peace and the development of grassroots communities in the DR Congo, calls on people and especially activists and decision-makers at all levels, to turn their gaze to the climate crisis, the effects of which are being felt hard on disadvantaged populations. This with the idea of ​​calling for the disarmament of violence for the armament of climate action in the world. Apart from the development and maintenance of the tree nurseries we plant, we also organize workshops and participatory forum theater performances in the psychodrama style to mobilize people. This is our innovative approach in this context.
