In the global discourse on climate change, Caribbean voices must not only be heard but actively represented in decision-making spaces. Our region faces unique challenges and increased vulnerabilities due to its geographic location, susceptibility to extreme weather events, and dependence on natural resources. By ensuring Caribbean representation, we not only diversify the conversation but also bring forth invaluable knowledge, insights, and experiences that are essential for crafting effective climate policies and strategies. By actively participating in climate discussions, we can advocate for our specific needs and priorities to be addressed, ensuring that policies and initiatives are tailored to our realities and circumstances. Moreover, by sharing our stories of resilience and showcasing successful adaptation strategies, we can inspire global action and contribute valuable lessons to the broader climate discourse. Together, let's raise our voices and drive meaningful change to advance equity and justice, and safeguard the future of our region and our planet. #Caribbean #climateactionnow #ClimateJustice #ClimateResilience #Equity
