IOM's "Conversations on Migration in the Caribbean" fourth episode engaged youth leaders from six diverse Caribbean civil society organizations (CSOs) in a live and online panel discussion. They explored the topic of empowering youth through engagement in discussions on climate-induced migration.
The young panelists represented the Aurae Opus Foundation and VIDS (Bureau Association of Indigenous Village Leaders) from Suriname; The Breadfruit Collective and SASOD from Guyana; the Dominica Association of Persons with Disabilities Inc., and the Jamaica Climate Change Youth Council. Iulia Duca, Programme Officer at the Climate Action Division, and Focal Point for CSOs and Youth at IOM Headquarters in Geneva, moderated the Conversation.
The Conversation was led by three topic questions:
1. How to promote youth engagement in climate-induced migration discussions, so youth can be part of the solution?
2. What skills of youth in entrepreneurship, digitalization and innovation, can be harnessed for climate action?
3. How to build strong leadership, for youth engagement to address climate-induced migration?
