Can Ecuador Keep its Oil in the Ground?
Manage episode 433738146 series 2302472
Last August, Ecuador passed a historic referendum that was more than a decade in the making. Oil accounts for roughly a third of the country’s exports, but Ecuadorians voted to stop extraction at a major production site deep in the Amazon. Since the vote, Ecuador’s “Keep It in the Ground” movement has hit some speed bumps.
In collaboration with our sister program, Climate One, why curbing climate emissions has economic consequences for rural Ecuadorians.
Guests:
Kevin Koenig, Climate, Energy, and Extractive Industry Director, Amazon Watch
Kimberley Brown, freelance journalist
Mateo Schimpf, producer, On Shifting Ground
Host:
Ariana Brocious, co-host, Climate One
