Puerto Rico and Colombia exchange alternatives to address the climate crisis

The CLACSO Working Group on Political Ecology(ies) from the South/Abya-Yala, together with the UPB Territory Research Group, work together with the aim of generating learning from experiences and the production of situated environmental knowledge in diverse latitudes, thanks to the promotion of relationships between researchers from organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean, mainly in Colombia, Peru and Puerto Rico.

On this occasion, Larissa Paola González Nieves, who came to Medellín from Puerto Rico, interested in studying for a Master's degree in Development at UPB . Based on the knowledge she gained about environmental justice in various classes and her interest in the subject, González Nieves began developing, under the guidance of Professor Denisse Roca-Servat, a thesis that will connect with the initiatives of the CLACSO Working Group on Political Ecology(ies) from the South/Abya-Yala , and with the work of the Territory Research Group.

We share Larissa's story and the importance of her thesis, which is related to climate change and the main problems facing Puerto Rico:
