Prince Edward Island (PEI) may be Canada's smallest province, but its commitment to sustainability looms large. So notes BPA Global Ambassador Kneyone Murray in a new blog, in advance of his attending an important conference in PEI in May.

The Cayman Islands have an opportunity to become energy independent by transitioning to a healthier, more cost-effective energy source. But short-term thinking is getting in the way.

“This was my third year at COP,” writes one of our Global Ambassadors, “and every year I am more and more impressed by the incredible work that I see young people bringing to and sharing at this UN climate change conference.”

COP28, in the perspective of one of our Global Ambassadors, “falls somewhere in between success and failure. While there were small victories, the conference was dominated by rhetoric rather than concrete action.”

For me, COP28 was a place of both personal and professional growth, overcoming my impostor syndrome and stepping into my own confident Ocean and Climate Specialist.

Civil society is making progress along with policy-makers, but much of the real action at COP28 in Dubai took place out of the negotiating rooms, and instead occurred at side events, where the voices of youth were heard.

In the first of a series of blogs about COP28 written by Blue Planet Global Ambassadors, Ashley Lashley notes: "As a young person from Barbados, I’m particularly delighted by the early agreement at COP, highlighting the establishment of a Loss and Damage Fund. The initial pledges made by countries, amounting to over $700m, holds promise."

While we will let the pundits weigh the merit of the ultimate agreement signed in Dubai for COP28, we can say unequivocally that the conference was a success for Blue Planet Alliance. BPA is actively working to achieve the results the planet needs to stave off environmental catastrophe.
