Join us for the Halifax screening of Tarea Vida de Cuba, Combatiendo el Cambio Climático – Cuba's Life Task: Combatting Climate Change, a powerful documentary that explores Cuba’s ambitious and urgent plan to confront the existential threat of climate change. Crafted through community resilience, scientific innovation, and a commitment to social and ecological justice, Cuba’s Tarea Vida (Life Task) stands as one of the world’s most comprehensive climate adaptation and mitigation strategies. This film highlights how a small island nation, despite facing severe economic sanctions and global inequities, leads by example in addressing the climate emergency. The screening will be followed by discussion on the lessons Cuba’s approach offers for global struggles against climate catastrophe and for building a more sustainable, just, and humane future.

The film will be introduced by Dr. Helen Yaffe (Professor, School of Social & Political Sciences, University of Glasgow)— a leading Cuba specialist and one of the producers, as well as the narrator, main writer, and researcher for the documentary. The screening will be followed by discussion on the lessons Cuba’s approach offers for global struggles against climate catastrophe and for building a more sustainable, just, and humane future.
