The stories of rural communities narrated in this document result from a climate, social, and participatory research process, with an intersectional focus on gender and citizen science. This process involved developing a method of rapprochement and following up with five rural communities in two Latin American countries.

In Honduras, the Department of Choluteca was visited, specifically the Municipality of Marcovia located on the Pacific coast, where work started with the communities of Cedeño, Colonia 3 de Febrero, and El Venado. In Colombia, the process was implemented in the municipalities of Barrancas and Urumita, located in the middle and lower Guajira, a region in the southern Caribbean of the country bordering Venezuela.

The main objective of this research was to develop a participatory process for systematizing loss and damage derived from climate change reported by and from the communities. Community stories were also learned and analyzed as examples that help measure and make visible the impacts and effects of climate change on rural Latin American communities.
