Activists across Latin America organize to protect water resources

Climate change has been at the forefront of international discussion with the United Nations Climate Change Conference taking place this November. An event on Thursday, Nov. 10, at the University of Massachusetts Amherst discussed the social movements taking place in Latin America in support of the climate. The panel discussion, titled “A Blue Tide Rising in Latin America?” was held by the Political Economy Research Institute, and focused on the grassroots movements based on Indigenous peoples’ involvement to make a greener Latin America.
