This special podcast series explores what it means to stand up for the environment in Jamaica and why it should matter to us all. ‘Defending Our Rights’ breaks down the Escazú Agreement, a regional treaty designed to protect environmental defenders and ensure public access to environmental information and decision-making.

Through real stories and expert insights, the series also highlights the risks faced by those speaking out, the gaps in protection, and the power of community action.

Whether you are new to environmental issues or deeply involved, this series makes it clear why defending nature is also about defending our rights. It aims to build awareness, spark conversations and encourage the Jamaican Government to ratify the Escazú Agreement.

Why? Because a healthy environment is everyone’s business.
