By Zoila Palma: Young climate leaders from across the Caribbean shared their efforts to address climate challenges in their respective countries during a side event at COP31 titled “From Advocacy to Action: Caribbean Youth Driving Climate Solutions.”
The discussion was hosted by Island Innovation at the CARICOM Pavilion, highlighting the growing role of young people in advancing climate action across the region.
The panel explored how regional collaboration can create opportunities for knowledge-sharing and expanding successful climate initiatives.
Participants also discussed challenges facing youth-led projects, including limited resources, differences in national circumstances and the need for more flexible and accessible financing to transform innovative ideas into sustainable, long-term solutions.
A key message from the discussion was the importance of meaningfully including young people in climate decision-making, not only as advocates but also as active partners in developing and implementing solutions.
Panelists emphasized that Caribbean youth have the ideas and capacity to drive change but need greater access to resources, partnerships and platforms to ensure their initiatives have a lasting impact.
