Big up the youth advocates! "Youth" have been fighting this fight since I was in secondary school in the 70's before it was called "Clime Change". But don't stop. Keep pushing.
Get more youths to get up stand up and fight for the necessary changes.
With that said, we do have some of the strongest environmental policies and laws in the region. The main issue is that it is hardly enforced and the problem is that people ignore or disregard the rules or just don't care!
As for whether SIDs whose economy is fossil energy dependent should give it up: It is "rich" coming from a citizen of the biggest colonialist state that exploited said oil and energy products coming to tell us that we shouldn't exploit our own resources for the socio-economical betterment of our citizens; By necessity, we are moving inexorably toward other solutions, but it is not something that one can turn off like a faucet!
It should be noted that the Caribbean region is doing MORE with regard to climate change than the BIG So-called "Developed" states who are the major cause of the climate situation. Our mangroves, the rain forests are helping to mitigate the damage the Global North has perpetrated on the world, because of those jurisdiction's greed and disregard for our planet.
So here we (SIDs) are.. 1.5 degrees is a very real thing and we need to keep pushing and pivot to "greener" solutions.
P.S.: But What kind of dotish question is that to ask to weather (Pun intended) to stay and fight for our country - are you going to abandon your homeland, which contributes more to the climate crisis than SIDs do? <steupes>
