The Caravan Territorial Atlantic was a meeting of the joint community and advocacy climate that brought together communities, women leaders and youth wing of the colombian Caribbean, in front of the emergency environmental and climate of the territory. The meeting visibilizó the impacts of sea-level rise, coastal erosion, and the loss of mangroves, strengthening a collective narrative of the defence of the territory. The Caravan drove feminisms territorial, the joint regional and tools of climate justice, as the Declaration of Emergency environmental and Climate of the Atlantic, the litigation for the rights of nature and community participation from the culture and citizen mobilization.

Civil society in Colombia has managed to influence policies and legal actions, and legal rights of nature, the defence of life and healthy environment. These exercises have proved by collective constructions that reflect the importance of the design of routes territorial for climate action, routes that are appropriate for the CITIZENSHIP. In this context, and with the Declaration of Emergency Climate in the department of the Atlantic, we want to contribute to the strengthening of the capacities of activists, advocates and social movements to formulate a declaration of emergency for climate, an advocacy tool to position the issues of climate change at the local level and at the national level.
