The Ocean and Climate Youth Ambassadors
This programme brings youth leaders from Small Island Developing States (SIDS) on the front line of climate change and marine degradation to travel onboard Peace Boat’s ship, engaging in capacity building and bringing their message to citizens and government representatives through the voyage. The programme was launched at the Ocean Conference at the United Nations in 2017 and has been held annually since, with the participation of young leaders from countries in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, as well as the Caribbean.
This short documentary was filmed during the second edition of the Ocean and Climate Youth Ambassador Programme during the summer of 2018. In 2017, Peace Boat began this programme to take the voices and experiences of young people from small islands around the world to raise awareness of what is happening in these countries affected by climate and ocean change.
