Mexico Edition. Climate Change: Trees for Visas.
At a virtual climate summit hosted by the White House, President López Obrador proposed a reforestation plan in exchange for a migration agreement, planting trees for US visas. Mexican and US environmentalists say the plan is inadequate and insufficient to impact the climate crisis. They suggest Mexico needs to move from the policies of the 1930s to a XXI Century plan, rely less in megaprojects and focus more on a real transformation of Mexico’s production and energy infrastructure, and a serious commitment to invest in renewable energy.
Guests: Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Mexico’s President, Palacio Nacional, Mexico City (Fragment of News Conference); Dr. Raul Hinojosa-Ojeda, Associate Professor in the UCLA Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies, Executive Director – NAID Center Executive Director, Los Angeles, CA.
Chilango Vote, Migrant Legislator. Citizens from Mexico City living abroad will be able to vote on June 6 for the first time to elect a migrant representative to the local Congress.

Guest: Mauricio Huesca, Council Member, Instituto Electoral, Mexico City.
