Despite being in the same political party that created it, the UK’s new prime minister, Liz Truss, is in the process of completely changing the country’s energy policy.

Edil is both a climate scientist and environmental attorney working to advance decolonization for Puerto Rico and achieve environmental justice for Puerto Ricans. So it really is no surprise that Puerto Rico is among the three countries that were most impacted by climate change between 1999 and 2018, according to Germanwatch.
