How a Colombian climate campaign turned people power into policy, with Juan Pablo Sierra

Description: “We made the case by refusing to treat climate action as a luxury.” In Season 3, Episode 3 of Climate Humans: The Policy Edition, Pacto x el Clima co-founder Juan Pablo Sierra tells host Mauricio Porras why the real heroes of climate policy aren't pedestaled icons – they're broad, trusted coalitions. Dissecting Bogotá’s Climate Emergency Declaration and the Escazú Agreement, join Juan and Mauricio to unpack the formulas behind climate policy wins in Colombia. From collective leadership, public mobilization, institutional advocacy, and political negotiation, tune in to learn how smart frameworks and sustained campaigning can turn pressure into lasting public policy – to enact real change. And Juan shares the mission driving it all – a world in which where you're born doesn't decide whether you get to live somewhere healthy.00:00 Climate Action Not Luxury01:36 Meet Juan Pablo Sierra01:52 Quickfire Questions06:27 Escazú Origin Story08:48 Coalition That Lasted11:21 Testing Tactics16:15 Misinformation Roadblocks19:02 From Ratification To Reality21:33 Bogotá Electric Bus Law23:45 Trusted Conveners 28:00 Winning The Diesel Bus Ban30:10 Accountability That Sticks32:54 Heroes And Collective Power34:15 Colombia Next Decade Vision37:38 Closing And Call To ActionClimate Humans is brought to you by HERO, the platform for people-powered climate solutions.
