those born in the late 1990s and early 2000s &#8211; who have become key voices in the climate change discourse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although generational boundaries can be arbitrary, it is believed that Generation Z is marked by differences from previous generations, and, by climate change concerns and an awareness of the existential crisis and its impact on their ability to lead safe and stable lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recent research has indicated that, in their role in climate activism, members of Generation Z feel isolated and ignored in the climate change conversation and like they are being &#8216;left to save the world&#8217; without support from the persons who currently have decision-making power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> They also want to become more politically and publicly active but do not know how and yearn for real opportunities to be climate leaders and help drive change from where they are.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;We ask a lot from our youngest generations, often relying on them to clean up our mess\u201d says Masao Ashtine, conference convener and Journal of CESaRE co-founder. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe constantly hear, \u2018It is so great to see a strong youth representation\u2019, yet we give them sessions on the last day of the conference or minimise their speaking times.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ashtine continues, \u201cWe\u2019ve created the Climate Gen Z Conference as a platform for them to enter with passion but leave fortified in their action. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We could simply describe it as an extensive (but fun) capacity-building exercise, which we know is vital to building the credibility of any movement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We see this conference as one of many collective efforts to harness Caribbean activism and tap into the surplus of Caribbean talent.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Climate Gen Z Conference is supported by the Open Society Foundations, the Inter-American Development Bank, and CANARI.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For registration information, follow the Journal of CESaRE and The Cropper Foundation on all social media platforms or email <\/span><a href=\"mailto:inquiries@cesarejournal.org\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">inquiries@cesarejournal.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or <\/span><a href=\"mailto:outreach@thecropperfoundation.org\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">outreach@thecropperfoundation.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-990684684\" class=\"antig-paragraph-12\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-rec td-a-rec-id-content_inline tdi_2 td_block_template_1\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"antig-990684684\" class=\"antig-paragraph-12\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-rec td-a-rec-id-content_inline tdi_2 td_block_template_1\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"antig-990684684\" class=\"antig-paragraph-12\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/LgZXQuHl9MhCtCAAZEbcrd\">CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2303430219\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Caribbean will see its first climate conference catering to some of the region\u2019s youngest advocates and leaders hosted in September 2023.\u00a0\u00a0 &nbsp;
