People of the global majority are frequently those most impacted by injustice. This is true in Central America, where up to 73% of the population of some countries is considered to live below the poverty line. These realities aggravate the impacts of climate disasters and combine with violence and racially biased institutions and laws to push many from their lands and homes. Yet, the ancestral knowledge of those who have stewarded the lands of the region offers multiple opportunities to bring stability and sustainability. Learn from funders and practitioners about the complex interconnections of race, climate injustice and forced migration, as well as the lessons that diverse communities in the region offer for a more just future.
