Meet Chelsea from Belize!

Chelsea advocates for greater involvement of young people from the Caribbean in policy and decision-making processes, especially regarding climate and health issues. She emphasizes the need to move beyond tokenism towards meaningful inclusion through institutional mechanisms that facilitate youth participation in high-level decision-making. Decisions affecting our climate and health must include our voices.

Join Chelsea, with the support of our partner, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), in pushing for a seat at the table for all young voices to address the pressing challenges of climate change and health.

Here's an alarming statistic. According to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, up to 40 percent of the planet's land is degraded, directly affecting half of the world's population.

Not only does it affect the natural environment and natural ecological structures, it puts a significant strain on food security by limiting crop production and worse, increases the negative impacts of weather events caused by climate change.

This year's theme, Our Land. Our Future narrows the focus on Land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience. So we pose a challenge to you.

What is your action for a greener future? .

Unlike other materials, plastic does not biodegrade. It persists in the environment, choking marine wildlife, damaging soil, and contaminating groundwater.

Plastic pollution has serious implications for our future health. But, there are some things you can do to reduce that impact now.

Reduce your own plastic consumption. Use reusable bags, bottles, and containers. Say no to single-use plastics like straws and cutlery.

Raise awareness about plastic pollution. Share information on social media, organize workshops, or give presentations at schools.

Join local beach cleanup events organized by environmental groups or community organizations. These events typically involve collecting plastic waste from shorelines and coastal areas.

Encourage businesses to adopt sustainable practices. Engage with companies to reduce plastic packaging and promote responsible waste management.

Remember, every small action counts. By participating in plastic cleanup initiatives, you’re contributing to a healthier planet for future generations! 🌊🌿🌏

Water is a human right. Securing access for all will go a long way in reducing illness and death, especially among children.💧🌏

When our children don't have access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene, it affects their health, nutrition, and learning. 💙

We all must do our part to protect our water sources and provide access to children across the globe.
