Evidence of Climate Change: How Shifting Weather Affects Farmers

This video shows the real effects of climate change in Boyacá, Colombia, where extreme frosts were recorded at the beginning of 2025.

This region, known for its agricultural activity, suffered such low temperatures that the pastures dried out.

Farmers are forced to work under extremely harsh conditions just to grow crops and earn the money they need to survive.

In many Latin American countries, small-scale farmers don’t have pensions or government-subsidized wages when they’re unable to work. They depend entirely on what the land provides. And when the climate fails, their entire lives are affected.

What Can We Do About Climate Change?

First, raise awareness: climate change is already affecting thousands of people—it’s not a distant problem.

We need to change our lifestyles and act with more respect for the planet and for the people who rely on it the most.

Small changes in our daily habits can make a big difference:

• Consume less and do so more responsibly
• Support local products
• Save energy and water
• Reduce plastic use
• Share information and educate others

“Caring for the planet means caring for those who live and work on it. Change begins with us.”
