PHILIPSBURG/THE BOTTOM-From March 28th to March 31st 2024, 120 persons from all over the world, but mostly the Caribbean attended the Caribbean Climate Justice Camp 2024 in St. Maarten. 

From the islands present, 5 of the 6 Dutch Caribbean islands had one or multiple representatives attending the camp. St. Eustatius was not present at the meeting. 

“It is critical to understand this camp was focused on intersectional environmentalism and climate justice, issues that are critical to the region, but that are largely ignored or unknown”, said Francine Zagers, who participated on behalf of Saba. 

Tracks

During the course of the conference, the four main tracks of the camp: Energy sector and transition, Adaptation and resilience, Gender and climate justice and marine conservation.
