Press Release: The National Trust Moves Forward with Implementing Climate Education Grant
The National Trust for the Cayman Islands (NTCI) is the proud recipient of a grant from the Resilience, Sustainable Energy and Marine Biodiversity Programme (RESEMBID) that will fund the creation of a climate education pilot project in our local schools.
The European Union and Expertise France, the French International Technical Cooperation Agency, created this mechanism to support the Caribbean Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) in their efforts to build lasting solutions toward resilient, sustainable and productive societies.
This project aims to strengthen the resilience of the Cayman Islands through a standardised educational programme on climate science to help cope with the effects of climate change and promote the adoption of new sustainable practices.
The NTCI has hired Bella Rooney, a young Caymanian, for the position of Climate Education Officer to act as project manager for the grant. Ms. Rooney has been working in the climate and environmental space for the past few years, recently attending COP27 in Egypt as one of the National Trust’s Youth Representatives.
