This session will bring together diverse leaders from Guatemala supporting indigenous peoples, from Honduras supporting defenders of territories and human rights, and from El Salvador supporting ecofeminist community organizations. Expert speakers will discuss their experiences with local development initiatives that feature such genuine intersectionality. This dialogue will revolve around research from “Life Between Damage & Loss”, developed to show evidence of the climate crisis in Central America and its implications for the lives of women and human rights defenders. Additionally, speakers will analyze other community-based research to consider local proposals anchored in the sustainability of life and territory.
