MDG 7: Ensure Environmental Sustainability (Spanish)

Climate change in parts of the world can lead to an increased struggle to grow food and the displacement of populations. This is the case in Northern Colombia among the indigenous Wayuu people, where desert conditions have been exacerbated in recent years. As in many parts of the world, is the Wayuu women who feed their families and provide water -- and they are struggling to ensure their community's very survival despite dwindling water resources.
