The podcast discusses the impact of climate change on Guatemala, which has resulted in forced migration and chronic malnutrition, affecting almost 50% of children under the age of 5. The people of Guatemala have faced a drought, mudslides, heat waves, and back-to-back hurricanes, leaving their crops destroyed and them with no food to eat. Many, like Darwin Mendez, have attempted to migrate to the US in search of a job that would allow them to send money back to their families. However, the risks and debt associated with migration are high, and many immigrants are apprehended or deported. The podcast raises the question of how far people are willing to go to save their families in the face of climate change.
