Caribbean Climate Justice graphic with yellow text and dotted island outlines over a blue background

As part of the "Global Stitches" program, alongside our partner La Tejedora, The Action Lab expanded our learning delegations to the Caribbean. In late November, young community organizers from Puerto Rico and New York’s Caribbean diaspora participated in a delegation to Barbados during its historic constitutional reform process. The group engaged with local LGBTQIA+, decolonial, and climate justice organizations that are shaping the nation's future through a human rights-focused approach. Barbados’ leadership in climate innovation provided participants with critical insights and opportunities to foster regional alignment and solidarity, laying the groundwork for long-term, cross-border collaborations to address the climate crisis.
