Island nations face many commonalities in the fight against climate change. Our vulnerable coastlines, ecosystems, and people are increasingly prone to the impacts of inaction and many of these threats are from no fault of our own. How we adapt, however, is in our control. This panel discussion will bring together island experts from the Caribbean and beyond to address the main bottlenecks in communicating information to bring about effective action. Like-minded gatherings hold a lot of power where knowledge sharing is concerned, but are we truly inclusive in our audiences? Or are we simply sharing within an engaged ‘echo chamber’? Join the Journal of Caribbean Environmental Sciences and Renewable Energy (CESaRE) and the Barbados Environmental Conservation Trust (BECT) as we delve into this introspective debate on innovating knowledge sharing across islands with common goals.
