Title: Environment, Development and Elections in Latin America: ¿Can Citizens make a difference?
Dr. Monica Araya, Founder and Executive Director of Costa Rica Limpia and former lead climate negotiator for Costa Rica will speak about the silence on environment and climate issues in recent elections in her country and in other parts of Latin America. She will discuss the pivotal role that citizen action plays in forcing politicians and the media to address environmental and climate issues as part of a broader agenda that challenges the notion of politics as usual.
