Young Innovator 2005

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, floods, hurricanes, landslides, and tsunamis loom as grave threats not only globally but also to Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean region. Within our island nation, recurrent challenges of flooding, landslides, and wildfires pose risks ranging from property damage to loss of lives. Floods, in particular, stand out as a common natural occurrence here. Recognizing the urgency of this issue, Youth Ambassador Fergusson underscores the importance of mobilizing the younger generation. His call for action encompasses the integration of environmental education and training initiatives, enabling the dissemination of information on environmental concerns, and promoting the use of eco-friendly technologies among youth.
