POCACITO conversations 2024
Podcast Description
As the year comes to an end, we’re reflecting on some of the conversations POCACITO was fortunate to be a part of, four of which we want to share with you. Two of these talks took place as part of POCACITO events, and two are one-to-one interviews.
One thing that kept coming up is that the critical work of environmental and climate justice is happening at the local level. And it’s being led by civil society.
We met with community organizers and activists from Kyiv; Berlin; St. James Parish, Louisiana; and Superior, Arizona, to learn what this work looks like, and how we can help.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of the POCACITO conversations. Today’s episode takes us to Jamaica Bay in New York City and was recorded on Sunday, February 8, 2026.
This is part two of two of recordings around Jamaica Bay.
I am Max Gruenig, your host for today and I met with Terri Carta, the Executive Director at Jamaica Bay Rockaway Parks Conservancy, as well as Elizabeth Stoehr, Deputy Director with the Jamaica Bay-Rockaway Parks Conservancy. And yes, it was pretty cold.
Elizabeth is a member of the German-American Nature-Based Solutions Exchange GANBASE, a program run by POCACITO and supported by the Transatlantic Program of the Federal Republic of Germany, funded by the European Recovery Program (ERP) of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE).
Thank you so much for tuning in today into part two of our recordings around Jamaica Bay. Stay tuned for more episodes around nature, the environment and climate change.
Many thanks to Frankum for the music.
