<p>Our guest: Irasema Coronado, Professor of Political Science and Director of the School of Transborder Studies at Arizona State University</p><p>In this second part of our podcast, we turn our focus to the pressing environmental and water challenges along the US–Mexico border. We’ll explore the intricate dynamics of water management in an arid landscape, where shared resource like the Colorado River is vital yet increasingly strained by climate change and competing demands. We’ll examine the pivotal role of the Commission for Environmental Cooperation of North America (CEC). Additionally, we’ll highlight the contributions of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and of cross-border social networks. Finally, we’ll discuss innovative policies designed to support borderlanders and promote a sustainable future for the region.</p><p><br></p><p>Time Markers</p><p>00:00 Introduction to Part Two</p><p>00:48 Key environmental challenges of the US-Mex border</p><p>07:31 Commission for Environmental Cooperation of North America</p><p>10:12 Water scarcity and the Colorado River</p><p>12:49 Role of Environmental NGOs</p><p> 15:41Cross-Border Social and Business Networks</p><p>17:34 Innovative Policies Possibilities</p><p>19:38 US-Mexico Border in Border and Cross-Border Studies</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Websites:</strong></p><p>BIG Website: <a href="https://biglobalization.org/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://biglobalization.org  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>JMN Website: <a href="https://www.uvic.ca/humanities/intd/europe/eu-grants/network/hmsdata-20-23/index.php">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.uvic.ca/humanities/intd/europe/eu-grants/network/hmsdata-20-23/index.php⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><p>Subscribe: <a href="http://bit.ly/2AL0HbO">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2AL0HbO⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> </p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BordersInGlobalization">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/BordersInGlobalization⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> </p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/big_uvic">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/big_uvic ⁠</a></p>
