At the former lake, Laguna Aculeo, which today is a dried-up wasteland, Greenpeace volunteers displayed images taken in earlier years depicting the once-healthy waters and a giant banner, calling for action.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis lake used to\nbe full of water and biodiversity. In only a few years it has run dry,\nillustrating the worst impacts of the climate crisis. Chile is experiencing\ndevastating droughts, compounded by weak action on climate. From bushfires in\nAustralia, to record floods in Venice, the extreme consequences of the climate\ncrisis are being felt by communities around the world now,\u201d said Mat\u00edas Asun,\nNational Director of Greenpeace Chile.<\/p>\n\n<p>While the global\nclimate summit COP25 has moved to Madrid, the presidency of the summit remains\nwith Chile. It therefore comes to Chile\u2019s government to show leadership, both\nby example in Chile, and globally, by driving ambition through COP25.<\/p>\n\n<p>Asun continued, \u201cThis\nclimate emergency has been brought to you by runaway capitalism, benefitting\nthe few by bulldozing the many. But now, people are coming together to say \u2018no&#8217;\nto business as usual. \u2018No\u2019 to a neo-liberal system that places the burden on\nthe individual. The costs of the transition cannot and should not be passed on\nto the people: the rapid and unequivocal halving of emissions in the next\ndecade must be done with and for everyone. Social justice has to be at the\nheart of a zero carbon world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>At COP25 Greenpeace expects\ndecision makers to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Act urgently to enhance their climate action targets, and outline a roadmap for NDC submissions in 2020<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure the costs of the energy transition are not passed down to the people, and that vulnerable communities are supported to react to climate impacts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid riddling the Paris Agreement with carbon market loopholes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Listen to the science and the people, not to powerful extractive industries that block climate progress&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n\n<p>Images of the protest can accessed via the <a

28 de noviembre de 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>A pocos d\u00edas del inicio de la COP25 y en medio de los llamados de que la pr\u00f3xima Constituci\u00f3n asegure derechos medioambientales, y con una serie de im\u00e1genes que exhiben el antes y el ahora de la laguna de Aculeo, Greenpeace denunci\u00f3 c\u00f3mo el cambio clim\u00e1tico, la sequ\u00eda y la crisis h\u00eddrica est\u00e1n impactando de manera dram\u00e1tica extensas zonas de Chile.<\/p>\n\n<p>Convertida hoy en una extensa superficie seca, la laguna de Aculeo, uno de los espacios recreacionales m\u00e1s visitados por los habitantes de Santiago hasta hace unos a\u00f1os, hoy tiene la fisonom\u00eda de un desierto con muelles fantasma y embarcaciones que descansan sobre la tierra.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cEn este lugar que
