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.

In a world of complex interconnected problems, solutions often require the knowledge and expertise of people from diverse backgrounds and trades. For the Pocacito Network, this is both our challenge and our strength. Earlier this summer, Climathon Baltimore brought together people across disciplines from the United States and Germany, creating an ad-hoc think tank or ideation hub.
We talked with some of the participants:
