Description
Patricia Rodríguez, International OGI Analyst and Advocate @ Earthworks
This talk will describe 'optical gas imaging' and advocacy to stop the harm from the oil and gas industry at an international setting. As we will get to see the air pollution, what can we learn from frontline Indigenous, Black and small farmer communities in Latin America about the impact of resource extraction and contamination on their lives, livelihoods and health, and what are some alternatives to the presence of oil giants in their communities?
What will you gain?
Understandings of cutting edge research into the tracking of methane emissions and how this information is used to act to reduce these emissions.
Who should apply?
Anyone who is interested.
