The Beam #9 – Voices From The Global South: Help Us Spread The Word!
Can you hear the rumble of individuals who are raising their voice in anger to demand that their government realize the scale of the climate crisis? A profound immediate systemic change is what they demand, and this upsurge of activists will not accommodate with their governments words and pledges. They want climate action and they want it now!
While we’re really happy about all this turmoil, we realize that these movements are mostly taking place in the most industrialized, wealthy, and urban corners of the planet.
In an email interview with Edelsin Linette Mendez, a 12-year-old girl who documented climate change from her community in Nicaragua, we naively asked her if she had heard of Greta Thunberg. Of course she didn’t.
So we decided to dedicate this new edition of The Beam to the people who don’t make it to the headlines. We want to give a space to some of the individuals and communities who are suffering a great deal of consequences due to our way of life and whose opinions are not being asked. Although, they are both the most affected by climate change, and the most active campaigners to save the planet. We have a lot to learn from these communities we often look at with indifference or arrogance. It starts here, with The Beam #9 – Voices from the Global South.
Now, what can we do about it? You could start by helping to raise awareness towards that issue by becoming a Distribution Partner of The Beam. By becoming a Distribution Partner of The Beam #9 – Voices from the Global South, you are taking part in the mission to raise “Climate Action” awareness and to advocate for the solutions.
In this edition of The Beam we feature an extensive dossier on the role of women in energy access in developing countries, an exclusive interview with Mexican artist Fernando Laposse, an article on how to sustain indigenous forest and their community in Papua New Guinea, and a photo essay on energy poverty around the world.

These experts wrote exclusive stories and opinion pieces on Energy Efficiency, Politics & Activism, Clean Cooking, Climate Action, Sustainable Consumption, Emobility, Sustainable Food, and Circular Economy, to name a few.
