San Diego Climate Week

from Climate to Action: A CSUSM Student Podcast

Erika Rodriguez joins us to share the moment a Category 4 storm in Fiji pulled her into climate action—and how that experience helped spark San Diego Climate Week. We dig into what it takes to build a city-wide movement, how she measures success beyond a single week, and why her long-term hope is that someday, we won’t need a “Climate Week” at all! Tune in to hear why. Recorded live in the barn at Coastal Roots Farm in Encinitas during the inaugural San Diego Climate Week.
