This staging of the Caribbean Dialogues will address the protection of environmental rights defenders as one of the core elements of the RRED Framework. \nEnvironmental rights defenders play a critical role in protecting the environment and taking action against the systems and practices that lead to the creation of sacrifice zones. It is therefore crucial to acknowledge and amplify their efforts through recognizing their rights and promoting a safe and enabling environment for them to do their work. Yet\, around the world\, environmental rights defenders face significant obstacles\, challenges\, threats\, and sometimes even death\, on account of their work. This situation is exacerbated by the systematic exclusion of environmental rights defenders from participation in environmental decision-making processes\, access to environmental information\, and access to justice in cases of harm. \nThis event will bring together environmental rights defenders from the Caribbean to discuss their work in the region’s sacrifice zones and the specific risks and challenges they face. This event will also discuss human rights standards for the protection of environmental rights defenders\, with a focus on the Escazú Agreement – the first legally binding instrument in the world to include provisions on environmental rights defenders and the first environmental agreement adopted in Latin America and the Caribbean. This discussion coincides with the Second Annual Forum on Human Rights Defenders in Environmental Matters in Latin America and the Caribbean\, which will take place 26-28 September 2023\, in Panama. \n  \nSpeakers \n\nImmaculata Casimero\, South Rupununi District Council\, Guyana\nEmily DeCou\, Amplify Caribbean\, Cayman\nJackie Frank\, Save Barbuda\, Barbuda\nKestonard Gordon\, Friends of the Rio Cobre\, Jamaica\nAkilah Jaramogi\, Fondes Amandes Community Reforestation Project\, Trinidad and Tobago\nPierre Louis\, Tet Kole\, Haiti\nSimone Mangal-Joly\, Citizen advocate\, Guyana\nTheresa Rodriguez-Moodie\, Jamaica Environment Trust\, Jamaica\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_btn title=”REGISTER” shape=”square” color=”black” size=”lg” align=”left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2FWN_IXZvGLJ8QzGZ_s3yAISr6g%23%2Fregistration|||”][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
