[[link removed]]"​Every time I speak in front of people, I doubt myself. But what keeps me going
is knowing that I am doing this for my family, community, my nieces and nephews,
and my future children. I am just one representing a bigger community.” – Marinel Ubaldo, typhoon survivor and climate justice activist


Dear John,

Marinel Ubaldo was just 16 when her life was turned upside down. In November 2013, Typhoon Haiyan, one of the deadliest typhoons on record, hit
the Philippines and destroyed her entire village. More than 6,000 people were
killed and millions lost their homes.

Six years later, Marinel and thousands of others still
[[link removed]] haven’t been properly rehomed
[[link removed]] . They lack the basics we take for granted: a safe residential area with proper
access to food, water, electricity, toilets, or ways to earn a livelihood. Some
of the residents were relocated next to a toxic landfill, where 11 people died
of fever and diseases.

Now 22, Marinel's spent years campaigning for her community to be safely rehomed
and for her government – and governments across the world – to start facing up
to the true impacts of climate change.

Millions of people are suffering from the catastrophic effects of climate
change, and those who have contributed least are paying the most. As Marinel
says: “Some countries that have historically contributed most to climate change are
still not fully feeling its effects. It’s important that they hear our stories,
so they realize that it is affecting real people today.”

Watch and share Marinel’s story, and send a message to support her and other
climate change survivors >>
