Trinidad and Tobago Civil Society
Organizations Build Capacity to
Communicate About Climate Change
As the Caribbean is in the midst of yet another pe-
riod of drought, urgent action is needed to address
climate change. Civil society organizations (CSOs)
are poised to play a key role in enhancing under-
standing about what is climate change, how it will
affect us and what we can do. On March 16-17, rep-
resentatives from five CSOs in Trinidad and Tobago
participated in a two-day workshop designed to en-
hance their capacity for effective communication
about climate change.
The five CSOs at the workshop were the Caribbean
Youth Environment Network Trinidad and Tobago
Chapter (CYENTT), the Environmental Research
Institute Charlotteville (ERIC), Environment Tobago
(ET), the Fondes Amandes Community Reforesta-
tion Project (FACRP), and the Turtle Village Trust
(TVT).
