Cockpit Country & Climate Change

Checkmate

On this episode, The Yaad spoke to Eleanor Terrelonge, executive director and founder of the Jamaica Climate Change Youth Council (JCCYC) about the ongoing issue of mining in the Cockpit Country. Throughout the episode, she expound on the repercussions that mining in the vulnerable area will have on the entire Jamaica. The Yaad also spoke to her about the recent IPCC report. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is an intergovernmental body of the United Nations mandated to provide objective scientific information relevant to understanding human-induced climate change, its natural, political, and economic impacts and risks, and possible response options. Their recent report spoke on the catastrophic reality the world is in, as it regards to the current and future effects of climate change. Eleanor went into details of how this reality will impact Small Island Developing States (SIDS), like Jamaica and the rest of the Caribbean.
