Hola,

We are proud to share the Colorado Latino Climate Justice Policy Handbook. This is the first of its kind: a bilingual informational guide about the status of the climate crisis in Colorado and the struggles that face the Latino community alongside it.

Latinos have been present in Colorado for centuries. During this time, they have helped shape our state culturally, socially, politically, and environmentally.

Despite all the great contributions of Latinos, environmental policymakers have failed to fully understand the intersection of conservation policy and the unique issues impacting Latino communities across Colorado. This has resulted in policies that continue to leave Latinos behind, put more burden on historically excluded communities, and perpetuate an unjust society.

The Colorado Latino Climate Justice Policy Handbook is filled with innovative data and policy solutions for our community. It is a tool as much as it is a new beginning for how Latinos are represented in climate justice research in the state. We hope you find it informative and useful! 

For Colorado, 

Beatriz Soto
