      How Massachusetts Can Stand in Solidarity with Cuba


      with Jessica Fernandez Casañas

CREW will be joined by *Jessica Fernandez Casañas*, head of the Climate 
Change Department of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment 
of Cuba! Ms. Fernandez will discuss the Republic of Cuba’s plan for 
climate mitigation and resilience, and then have a Q&A about how people 
in the United States can look forward and create cooperative 
relationships with the people of Cuba as the impacts of climate change 
are felt all around the world. This event is being co-sponsored by 
Massachusetts Peace Action. There will be a Spanish interpreter present 
at the event.


Ms. Fernandez worked as a teacher before joining the Ministry of 
Science, Technology and Environment as a senior specialist in 2017. Ms. 
Fernández has participated in national and international events and 
meetings related to the issues of desertification and drought, disaster 
risk reduction, climate change, gender, and more. She has held 
responsibilities working on  the Convention to Combat Desertification 
and Drought, and the coordination of the National Reports to said 
Convention. She collaborated in the evaluation and proposals of national 
policies, plans and strategies; as well as national and international 
projects- including coordinating technical assistance at the 
international level for collaboration between Cuba and the European 
Union, as part of the EU’s Euroclima+ Plan.
