Intersections of Climate Change Impacts
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.
