Uma jovem alagoana de engenharia ambiental, credenciada pela ONU após contribuir a uma declaração sobre água e clima, precisa de R$ 12 mil para chegar à COP28 em Dubai — conferência onde nações negociam o futuro do planeta. Verena Meirelles não chegou até ali por nomeação governamental, mas pelo peso de seu trabalho junto ao movimento Águas Resilientes e pela realidade que ele documenta: comunidades nordestinas que caminham quilômetros carregando água no dia a dia. Ela pede ao seu país que a ajude a levar essa voz até a mesa onde as decisões são tomadas.
