Community-Informed Environmental Policy with Rep. Summer Lee

Communities of color have historically been left out of environmental policymaking. It has been a long and continuous journey for communities to be heard on decisions that impact their health, livelihoods, and future. Congresswoman Summer Lee is an attorney, an organizer, and most importantly someone who brings her lived experience and her community into policymaking with her. She works to bring those "closest to the pain closer to the power," so that power is shared. Host Adriane Alicea speaks with Congresswoman Summer Lee (PA-12) about centering impacted communities in environmental policy-making. Green 2.0 Host: Adriane Alicea Guest: Congresswoman Summer Lee

Building Climate Resilience in Puerto Rico: Participatory Design as the Blueprint

U.S. territories are on the frontlines of climate change. In Puerto Rico climate change and policies that prioritize tourists over local communities are driving economic and social inequity.

Host Adriane Alicea speaks with Cynthia Burgos López, the Executive Director of La Maraña, about how the organization is building a movement to support food sovereignty and climate resilience in Puerto Rico.

Authentic Workplaces: Supporting Parents and Advancing Climate Solutions

The U.S. has a problem providing paid time off for caretakers, especially when it comes to parents. Since paid parental leave is left to employers, many parents aren't guaranteed adequate time off to care for their families. In the environmental sector, organizations provide on average only 8 weeks of paid parental leave, while some offer none at all. Green 2.0's Managing Director Adriane Alicea sits down with Niria Alicia Garcia, Mamá, Community Organizer, Rematriation Developer, and Green 2.0 Board Member, to discuss how environmental organizations can create workplaces that support parents and families.

From Set-Up to Success: Overcoming the Glass Cliff

The glass cliff is a phenomenon where women and people of color are promoted to leadership positions, often during times of crisis, without the resources they need to succeed. It allows organizations to appear more diverse without making institutional and cultural changes truly needed. Adriane sits down with LaTresse Snead, Founder of Bonsai Leadership Group, to examine the challenges facing environmental leaders who find themselves on the glass cliff and explore strategies for providing more effective support.

Ocean Justice in Action

Ocean justice exists at the intersection of social inclusion, ocean stewardship, and justice. It means harnessing the full participation of historically excluded communities. Indigenous people and communities of color bear the economic and social burden of climate change and conservation efforts, often without receiving the benefits. In this episode of The Green 2.0 Movement, host Shao Zhi Zhong talks to Angelo Villagomez, a Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress, about how we can strengthen the conservation movement and challenge colonial legacies through Indigenous knowledge and values.
