In this episode of the EcoVybz Podcast, we dive deep into the critical conversation around decolonizing climate justice with our special guest, Damien Nicholas, a 23-year-old climate justice activist from Guadeloupe. As a co-founder of Observatoire Terre Monde (OTM), Damien is passionate about advocating for the dismantling of colonial structures that continue to shape the environmental and political landscapes of France’s overseas territories, including the Caribbean.

Together, we explore how colonization is not just a historical event but a present-day reality affecting climate justice. Many of the ecological challenges these regions face are deeply rooted in colonial legacies. To move forward, we must actively deconstruct these systems. Damien shares insights from his work at OTM, highlighting the need for climate solutions that reflect the voices and experiences of the most impacted communities, especially in regions like the Caribbean that continue to grapple with post-colonial realities.

Join us as we unpack the complexities of colonization in climate justice and discuss how decolonizing ecology is essential for a more just and sustainable future. To learn more visit here.

In this compelling episode of "Climate Injustice," we are joined by Kjelld Masoud Kroon, a dedicated activist born in the Netherlands and raised in Rincon, Bonaire. Kjelld is deeply involved in anti-racism, anti-discrimination, and community inclusivity projects in Amsterdam and The Hague. He is politically engaged with Bonaire's M21 party and the youth think tank BiT-lab, while also collaborating with various organizations in the Netherlands supporting the Dutch-Caribbean community.
