Unity in Action: Intergenerational Voices for just and Sustainable Islands in the Caribbean

In this intimate inspiration session, youth and elder leaders from the Caribbean Climate Justice Leaders Academy (CCJLA) will share stories of collaboration across generations in the fight for climate justice and sustainability.

This session will emphasize how the wisdom of elders, rooted in traditional knowledge, blends with the energy, innovation, and digital savvy of younger generations to create solutions that are both deeply connected to cultural heritage and adaptive to future climate challenges. The discussion will focus on collaborative community-led projects addressing climate mobility, energy resilience, and biodiversity conservation, illustrating how diverse generational perspectives can fuel effective climate action. The goal is to inspire attendees with real-world examples of how age-diverse coalitions are strengthening Caribbean resilience and to foster a spirit of intergenerational solidarity in global climate solutions.
