We are in the process of creating the first country in the world to be Ready for Climate Change and we need all the people we can get! We start teams 6 Months teams in March, August and November and 1 Month July. There is no doubt that Climate Change will hit poor countries the hardest. Saint Vincent is one of the poorer island nations in the Caribbean and one of the world's most disaster prone countries. Global Warming means longer periods without rain. Only 7% of the farms in St. Vincent have irrigation systems. Water reservoirs and grey water systems need to be built and water conservation measures need to be taken to secure food production in the future. Climate Change means more flooding and hurricanes. In 2014 extreme weather hit St. Vincent and left thousands without public water, with heavy destruction of roads, bridges and houses and left hundreds in shelters. The damages from 2014 disasters alone equaled 17% of the small developing island nation’s GDP. Climate Activists with Richmond Vale Academy stand side by side with the poor and plant trees to prevent landslides, keep rivers and drains clear to prevent flooding, start organic back yard gardens to promote food security and teach people how to be more prepared for Climate change. How to participate? As a participant in the 6-months program you join the 10-year Climate Compliance project. You are welcome to add me on Skype so we can talk. Warm greetings Else Marie.
