Photo Petition

Make a banner, take a photo, and tag your government leader to demand urgent adaptation measures for your community.

 

 

We are joining forces across the Caribbean to bring attention and call for action from our decision makers in the region.

We need urgent climate adaptation measures that protect our lives, health and communities. It is not safe to wait for the next major hurricane, drought or flood to take action. Our leaders in government have to help us adapt sooner rather than later.

Let’s make sure they hear our voices and concerns through this photo petition.
