ON CLIMATE CHANGE
Frequently Asked Questions
Climate change refers to long-term shifts in the Earth’s temperatures and weather patterns, primarily caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels.
Latino communities in the U.S. and Latin America face severe impacts, including extreme heat waves, stronger hurricanes, droughts, and health issues related to air pollution. In the U.S., many Latinos work in agriculture and construction, industries highly vulnerable to extreme weather.
- Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas)
- Deforestation
- Intensive agriculture and food waste
- Industrial pollution
Rising air pollution and extreme temperatures increase the risk of asthma, respiratory diseases, and heat strokes. Latinos in the U.S. are disproportionately exposed to air pollution due to their proximity to factories and highways.
- Reducing fossil fuel use and promoting clean energy (solar, wind)
- Reforesting and protecting ecosystems
- Adopting sustainable agricultural and industrial practices
- Implementing public policies to cut emissions
