On a vibrant Thursday morning, the streets of Bridgetown, Barbados, resonated with the impassioned voices of primary and secondary school students chanting, “Beyond talk! More action!” This marked the second annual Student Climate March, a pivotal event of the Barbados Youth Climate Action Summit, orchestrated by the Ashley Lashley Foundation under the theme “Beyond Talk, More Action.” The march commenced at Queen’s Park, with students brandishing creatively hand-painted placards bearing urgent messages such as “Rising Temperatures Rising Action” and “The climate is changing, why aren’t we?” These slogans underscored their call for heightened environmental awareness and decisive action. Ashley Lashley, the foundation’s founder, expressed her enthusiasm for the event, emphasizing its mission to empower youth in climate advocacy. “This initiative is about fostering awareness and sensitization among our youth, helping them realize they have a voice in shaping a sustainable future,” she remarked. Participants from schools like Grantley Adams Memorial Secondary, Lester Vaughan School, and St Giles Primary united in chants such as “Climate action, who’s it for? For we future, that’s for sure!” Lashley also highlighted students’ growing concerns about the tangible impacts of climate change, particularly the rising temperatures affecting their classrooms. The march concluded with gratitude expressed to all participants, who were treated to refreshments. As the event wrapped up, the lingering chant, “This is our future, we gotta act now!” served as a powerful reminder of the urgency of their cause.
