Building Climate Resilience in Puerto Rico: Participatory Design as the Blueprint

U.S. territories are on the frontlines of climate change. In Puerto Rico climate change and policies that prioritize tourists over local communities are driving economic and social inequity. Combined with the lasting impact and ever-present threat of natural disasters, it's clear that a new approach to climate solutions is needed, one that involves working closely with local communities to understand their needs and create more resilient environments.

Host Adriane Alicea speaks with Cynthia Burgos López, the Executive Director of La Maraña, about how the organization is building a movement to support food sovereignty and climate resilience in Puerto Rico.
