The Global Water Partnership-Caribbean (GWP-C) has reaffirmed its commitment to the Youth in Action for Climate Change Adaptation Initiative, a groundbreaking program launched in June 2024. Spearheaded by the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Unit under Grenada’s Ministry of Climate Resilience, the Environment and Renewable Energy, this initiative aims to engage children and youth in meaningful climate action across the nation. Since its inception, the program has successfully reached students of all ages, from pre-primary schools to senior secondary levels, fostering a culture of environmental stewardship. On September 26, 2024, GWP-C supported outreach activities in Gouyave, where students from Grand Roy Government School and Concord Government School participated in interactive sessions. These sessions focused on critical topics such as the drivers and impacts of climate change, the effects on Grenada’s unique wildlife, and the historical significance of water resources. Students collaborated to create posters addressing climate challenges and proposing innovative solutions. Additionally, each participant received a specially designed coloring book on climate change adaptation, while teachers were gifted tokens of appreciation from GWP-C. Dr. Roxanne Graham-Victor, GWP-C’s Regional Coordinator and lead for Grenada’s NAP revision, alongside Programme Assistant Kerron Martinez, actively contributed to the sessions, emphasizing the organization’s dedication to empowering youth and promoting water conservation awareness. This initiative underscores the vital role of education in building a resilient future for Grenada and beyond.
