Diana McCaulay, founder of the Jamaica Environment Trust, shares how she went from knowing little about environmental issues to leading one of Jamaica’s most recognized advocacy groups for over 30 years.
Drawing on her decades of experience, she reflects on the risks faced by environmental defenders, the barriers they encounter in accessing information and justice and why public participation is critical to protecting Jamaica’s natural resources.
The conversation also explores the Escazú Agreement and how it could transform support and protections for those on the frontlines of environmental justice.
The views expressed in this video are those of the guest and do not necessarily reflect those of the Jamaica Environment Trust.
