(CMR) Today, on Youth Climate Action Day, the Premier and Minister for Sustainability and Climate Resiliency addressed the youth of the Cayman Islands.
The message hopes to motivate and challenge our youth to engage in climate action, encourage conversations about tackling and mitigating climate change, as well as to encourage and empower our youth to get connected, stay connected and implement as many green initiatives as they can.
The team at the Ministry knows we have our very own Greta Thunberg’s here in the Cayman Islands!
It is your generation who will suffer the blunt effects of climate change and there is no Planet B. We are going to empower and give you the tools to help us save the planet for you and the generations to follow.
The world needs new and fresh ideas that protect and preserve our environment, and there are some great ideas inside all of you, no matter your age.
So today, on Youth Climate Action Day, we are excited to launch the Cayman Islands Youth Climate Action Challenge.
