1. The lack of economic freedom in the countries of the Northern Triangle—Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador—has long been a consistent push factor of illegal immigration to the north. It did not suddenly cause the 2021 U.S. border crisis, and resolving it requires serious, lasting solutions. The tragic humanitarian flow of illegal migration from the region fundamentally stems from the pervasive economic governance failures, often exacerbated by political instability, that have long beleaguered people in the region with the grave lack of economic opportunities. The Honduran economy, 98th in the index, out of 178 countries scored, has dropped back into the mostly unfree category after just three years in the ranks of the moderately free. A core of the strategy must be about advancing economic freedom in the Northern Triangle. Improving economic governance and thus installing real economic development in the countries of the region would offer practical and lasting solutions to ultimately reverse the unacceptable illegal immigration into America. What is the relationship between economic freedom and political freedom? Do you agree with the view that political instability can be improved by the improvement of economic governance?

My activism started with the youth climate strike movement, which began when Greta Thunberg started striking in front of the Swedish Parliament in 2018. However, I want to acknowledge that young people, especially youth of color, have been protesting and demanding action for the planet for decades. I’m honored to follow in the footsteps of all the youth activists who paved the way for my activism and for the phenomenal growth of the youth climate movement that we have seen since 2018. My experiences in the youth climate movement have allowed me to see that one of the greatest barriers we have to urgent climate action is education. Because of the lack of climate education around the world, I founded Earth Uprising International to help young people educate one another on the climate crisis, which ultimately has the effect of empowering young people to take direct action for their futures.
