After a summer of extreme heat, wildfires, flooding, and severe storms, the financial toll of climate disasters is becoming harder to ignore. Join GreenLatinos for a national press conference examining the growing costs for Latino families and the consequences of weakening federal climate protections.

Speakers will discuss why Latino/a/e communities are disproportionately affected, how federal climate rollbacks could increase these costs, and what policies are needed to keep families from being left with the bill. 

Latin America is entering a new political era. As the region shifts away from the “Pink Tide,” right-wing and populist movements are gaining ground alongside concerns about authoritarianism, democratic backsliding, deregulation, and attacks on environmental protections.

Join GreenLatinos and our international partners for a special Climate Justice & Clean Air (CJCA) Encuentro exploring what these political shifts mean for climate policy, environmental justice, and democracy across Latin America. Advocates from across the region will discuss the influence of Trump-style politics, opportunities for civil society, and what this moment could mean for climate leadership ahead of COP31.
