This week Nature Nuggets goes on the road as host Duane Martinez holds it down in the Kingston studio and interviews Laurel Sutherlin who is in New York City organizing events surrounding NYC Climate Week - an annual whirlwind centered around sessions of the UN General Assembly that brings in tens of thousands of politicians, bankers and business people as well as members of global civil society, local grassroots activists and Indigenous delegations.
We discuss efforts to shift global financial flows away from fossil fuels and deforestation and towards a clean energy future, as well as ongoing civil disobedience and direct actions targeting Citibank for its role in driving fossil fuel infrastructure expansion.
We also feature the launch of an incredible new book by Indigenous Waorani leader Nemonte Nenquimo called We Will Be Jaguars (Available for sale here!) which is an inspiring memoir of her people and her journey from her remote village deep into the Ecuadorean Amazon onto the global stage as an advocate for her people who has been named a TIME Magazine 100 Most Influential People as well as winner of the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize.
