DARA is very excited to report that the presentation of the “Climate Vulnerability Monitor” in Madrid, September 29, was a monumental success. The Spanish Ministry of Environment, EFEverde, Iberoamerican Secretary General, and DARA all shared the results of the “Climate Vulnerability Monitor: The State of the Climate Crisis”, and the “Climate Vulnerability Forum (CVF)”. They also outlined the need for greater national involvement, especially by wealthy, industrialized countries, pointing out that they, too, are not immune to the effects of climate change, and that, in fact, Spain and the United States are the most vulnerable among developed countries.

Watch testimonials about the Climate Vulnerability Monitor from:

• Teresa Ribera, Spanish Secretary of State for Climate Change
• José María Figueres, Former President of Costa Rica & DARA Board Member
• Ikhtiar Momin Chowdhury, Ambassador of Bangladesh to Spain
