Welcome to ADDAPTA.org
Dear friends and fellow advocates for climate justice,
It brings me immense joy to share this monumental milestone with each one of you, a moment that embodies the culmination of firm dedication which comes with the promise of a new chapter in the global pursuit of social and climate justice. Permit me to introduce myself: I am Oscar, a fervent advocate of climate action and social equity, and the proud CEO and founder of ADDAPTA.org.
The journey commenced in the heart of my homeland, Peru, where I had the privilege of extensively travelling the coast, highlands, and rainforest of my country, where I had the honour to live and work closely with local communities in the most diverse, beautiful but also difficult environments. There, I witnessed the extraordinary resilience and firm determination of individuals confronting the remarkable challenges brought forth by the ever-shifting choreography of climate patterns. These experiences, while occasionally heart breaking, illuminated the indomitable spirit of families and whole communities striving to adapt to the continual variations in weather, frequent natural disruptions, and the gradual erosion of their traditional ways of living. Meeting such extraordinary people was a priceless experience and without doubt, one of the greatest privileges of my life and the bedrock of my comprehension about the intricate connection between nature and humanity.
As a Psychologist with more than two decades of experience working with displaced populations, refugees, and vulnerable communities across various regions of the world, I've had the opportunity to witness and extensively research the complex relationships binding Earth's systems with its inhabitants. I've seen firsthand the profound aftermath of climate shifts on these communities, particularly the dreadful impact of forced migration due to environmental pressures and the struggles to adapt to the new normal. This experience has emphasized the vital importance of these relationships, as well as the critical need to address the challenges faced by those who find themselves at the intersection of climate change and human livelihoods. This is how ADDAPTA.org was born, a dedicated institution committed to foster, empower, and support those affected by the encompassing grasp of the climate crisis.
Our mission at ADDAPTA.org is not just a beacon of hope for the brave people weathering the storms of climate impacts, but a solid partner to support communities enduring resilience through innovative programs and community-driven initiatives. Our vision is to bridge the realms of climate science and the sacred realm of social justice, merging diverse voices in a harmonious symphony for a greener, more equitable world by adopting a practical approach, focus on realistic, measurable, and sustainable actions.
The objective of our collective actions is very clear, bringing new life into both individuals and our precious Earth, one step at a time. Our mission encompasses far more than mere environmental preservation; it's about nurturing compassion, fostering empathy, and weaving a vibrant tapestry of interconnectedness that transcends borders and beliefs.
Undeniably, climate change stands as the paramount challenge of our era, and at ADDAPTA.org, we unwaveringly hold to the belief that collective action is the destined path forward.
I extend a wholehearted invitation to explore the vibrant landscape of our website and join us by subscribing, advocating, or immersing yourself in this exhilarating journey of hope as part of our team of collaborators. Together, we are co-authoring a radiant new chapter in the story of humanity and our cherished Mother Earth.
With profound affection,
Oscar Revolledo
CEO and Founder, ADDAPTA.org
