In Blanchisseuse, the livelihoods of many residents are dependent on farming, fishing, and ecotourism.

But in recent times, residents have become concerned about their well-being given the global climate crisis.

With increasingly frequent and extreme rainfall, there have been a number of landslides over the past several years which have affected the integrity of roads and infrastructure in the village.

Increasing floods have also resulted in the activities of the community being constantly disrupted.

Now, farmers are concerned about what effects climate change will have on their abilities to grow crops.

Fishermen are also concerned about the effects climate change will have on the quality and quantity of fish they catch.

Many livelihoods in Blanchisseuse are rooted in the earth’s natural resources and as such, they are often most vulnerable to negative effects of climate change. (Photo of Blanchisseuse courtesy The Institute of Marine Affairs)

In the 2024/2025 academic year, Cari-Bois will work closely with ten secondary schools across Trinidad and Tobago to empower a total of 20 students with journalism skills and climate knowledge. With funding support from the Scotiabank Foundation, the project aims to challenge each student to write and publish three climate stories to raise awareness about the effect of the climate crisis on their communities and beyond. The project’s stories are set to be published under a special social media campaign titled the “Green Gazette” that will be shared across the social media platforms of Cari-Bois.
