Marcelo Mena, the former environment minister of Chile, is on a mission to create a zero-emission economy in his country by 2050. In a conversation about climate action, he discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic is changing Chile's ambitious plan to tackle climate change -- and explains why the green recovery needs to be powered by both political leaders and citizens alike. (This virtual conversation, hosted by TED current affairs curator Whitney Pennington Rodgers and global curator Bruno Giussani, was recorded on May 26, 2020.)

Where To Start
Start Here
Start at 1619. Move forward.
The Arc is the spine of this project: 40 essays, one chronological argument, five analytical lenses.
The Arc / Observations
The running argument. Read the core sequence as one sustained line of thought.
Curated Black Media Digest
Supplementary reading, media, and adjacent material.
Read the Arc through its lenses
Monument
What is formally commemorated and what that public memory hides.
History
What was structurally done, built, justified, and enforced.
Witness
Testimony, lived experience, and what the record sounds like from inside it.
Culture
How the archive speaks through literature, music, church, language, and art.
Present
How the machinery persists now: policy, power, memory, and consequence.
This site should read like a structured archive, not a loose category list. The Arc is the entry point; the lenses help you move through it with intention. Empty sections stay hidden until they are live.
