From In Our Backyard Podcast · 01:01:11
Show by Jenn Galler
I talked with Dr. Andrea Marpillero-Colomina who is the Policy Advisor at Green LatinosLatino communities are among those most affected by climate change and they are also a powerful part of the movement shaping climate solutions.Today, we're talking with GreenLatinos about what climate justice looks like through a Latino lens, and about their Latino Climate Justice Framework for 2025–2028. The framework goes beyond the impacts of climate change to focus on community power, clean energy, water justice, climate migration, workers' rights, misinformation, and the need to ensure Latino communities have a meaningful voice in environmental decision-making.So what does it mean to move from seeing Latino communities as communities impacted by climate change to recognizing them as leaders and drivers of climate solutions?That's what we're exploring today.Contact and connect: https://www.greenlatinos.org/resources/lcjf-2025-2028/
