Bolivia is experiencing rising climate emergencies—from extreme heat and drought to floods and wildfires. Friends of Mother Earth, in partnership with CERT Latin Global, is launching Bolivia’s first Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Train-the-Trainer Program in early 2026. This landmark initiative will certify 12 local leaders from six departments to build the country’s first community-led emergency response network.
