Good Humans 268 Delegates Take Antigua and Barbuda’s Environmental Message to Paris and Uzbekistan
Good Humans 268 Representatives Attend Global Environmental Meetings in France and Uzbekistan
Two representatives of Good Humans 268 Inc. recently represented Antigua and Barbuda at separate international environmental events in France and Uzbekistan, bringing attention to issues of climate action, sustainability and youth engagement.
Kelisha Pigott, the organization’s logistics coordinator, travelled to Paris to participate in the UNESCO x Nestlé Youth Impact: Because You Matter – For Environmental Sustainability and Climate Action closing event. The programme supports 100 youth-led environmental projects worldwide through grants, mentorship and capacity-building initiatives.
At the same time, Joshuanette Francis, president of Good Humans 268 Inc., travelled to Samarkand, Uzbekistan, as part of the Chemicals & Waste Youth Platform delegation to attend the 8th Global Environment Facility Assembly and Associated Meetings.
The assembly brought together representatives from 186 member countries to discuss biodiversity, climate change, pollution, land degradation and environmental financing.
Good Humans 268 said the Global Environment Facility holds particular significance for the organisation because funding received through the GEF Small Grants Programme helped launch its Student Community Service Recycling Project.
According to the organisation, the recycling initiative has diverted more than two million recyclable items from Antigua and Barbuda’s landfill while engaging thousands of students and creating opportunities for persons with disabilities.
The organisation said participation in the international events provided an opportunity to share experiences from Antigua and Barbuda while building partnerships and learning from environmental initiatives in other countries.
Good Humans 268 added that it remains committed to promoting climate action, disability inclusion, waste management and sustainable development while ensuring Antigua and Barbuda is represented in global environmental discussions.
