My Community, My Island: Increasing Awareness and Changing Attitudes and Behaviours on critical environmental issues in the Eastern Caribbean
The project will seek to: (i) increase appreciation of the region?s natural resources, including how resource conservation and species preservation can reduce poverty and ensure sustainable development; (ii) increase awareness of links between climate change, population pressures and environmental degradation; (iii) increase willingness of individuals to take action on matters related to biodiversity conservation and climate change adaption; and (iii) increase community action and the number of organizations supporting mitigation and adaption to climate change.
Within the first two years of the programme the objectives will be to: (i) Develop the capacity of local organizations across the Eastern Caribbean to use communications to effectively enhance CBA activities and motivate longer term social change; (ii) build a community of coalitions and well-informed constituencies that understand and support CBA activities; and (iii) positively change community knowledge, attitudes and behaviours related to climate change and CBA activities.
Project activities will include building coalitons; primary and secondary research; training and strategic communications planning; and a radio serial drama.
