She also reiterated that the workshop seeks to extend support in developing national and community projects geared towards bolstering efforts to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change on health and address community needs.<\/p>\n<p>Mitigating the effects of climate change in the Region has already been a priority for the CYAs under the CCHP. In St Kitts and Nevis, CYAs implemented a six-month project in which youth were engaged in implementing household waste management techniques to reduce methane emissions and the effects of climate change. The project helped 20 young people develop an understanding and garner knowledge of composting biodegradable material techniques.<\/p><div id=\"antig-470620131\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500 (1)\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>In Trinidad and Tobago, there was \u201cThe Eco Restorers Project\u201d, where young climate change advocates learned about the recycling process, how it helps mitigate the effects of climate change and how to convert recycled products into sustainable business ideas.
