Youth Climate Change Conference 2017 #Jamaican Delegation
"YCCC 2017 was an amazing opportunity for me to deliberate with other like minded youth and to explore opportunities for improving the future of young people in the Caribbean in the face of a changing climate."
Jhannel Tomlinson
YCCC 2017 was indeed a fascinating experience. Any conference or event that can cater for negotiations and involvement of individuals and countries of such a magnitude , is one that is beneficial. For us as youth to have been engaged in something of this nature was really a fulfilling and wonderful experience. To be able to represent my country was a humbling experience.

"YCCC2017 harnessed the brightest youth minds, to discuss how grave of a threat climate change is to Caribbean countries. Spirited debate resulted in the crafting of a Caribbean report document offering practical solutions from the youth perspective.

"The Youth Climate Change Conference was a remarkable initiative that effectively achieved its intended purpose of facilitating the dissemination of information relating to climate change, its causes, its implications and ways we can combat this disastrous phenomenon. Not incidentally, it also incited a burning passion within us the special delegates and among our peers that were in attendance that will ensure that there are continuous initiatives forthcoming from the youth to secure a future for us and the people to follow. Climate Change is proactive so let's make the fight equal"

"The conference was a dynamic and captivating event. It facilitated the dissemination of information among youth and sought ways to tackle the most pressing issue of our time: climate change. It is conferences like this one that equip young people with the facts they need to champion the cause. After both days , I felt empowered to be apart of the change the world needs to see. I believe I speak on behalf of all youth delegates when I say it was a fulfilling experience."
