At Santa Marta Conference, Challenges To Climate Justice Continue

Description

At the end of April, Colombia and the Netherlands co-hosted a climate conference in Santa Marta that brought nearly 60 nations together to strategize on ways to transition off of fossil fuels. The genesis for the conference is the failure of the United Nations Conference of Parties process over the past 30 years to respond effectively to the growing climate crisis. Clearing the FOG speaks with climate activist and author, Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, who was part of an Afro-descendant delegation to the conference and a people's summit that took place before the Santa Marta Conference. Rogers-Wright discusses the challenges we continue to face in building a climate justice movement that focuses on the integral crises of White Supremacy, racism, imperialism, colonialism and patriarchy.
