As November approaches, the spotlight turns to Valmond, a 20-year-old climate and youth activist, poised to join a group of 100 young delegates from around the globe who will help shape the debate at Cop28 in Dubai.<\/p>\n<p>The team of eco ambassadors, three-quarters of whom are drawn from developing nations, will help ensure young voices are heard during crunch talks aimed at protecting the planet for future generations. In an exclusive interview with Dominica News Online (DNO), the Sineku native revealed that his motivation to pursue this opportunity was fueled by the stark absence of representation for Dominica&#8217;s youth on the global stage\u2014particularly within climate change dialogues. This void, coupled with his unwavering passion for environmental issues, impelled him to take the audacious leap and apply.<\/p>\n<p>The news of his selection, emerging from a pool of 11,000 applicants, struck Valmond with a blend of astonishment and gratitude. This recognition reinforced his belief that his voice, as an envoy of Dominica&#8217;s youth, would resound on the international platform.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was so surprised,&#8221; he acknowledged.\u00a0&#8220;It was unexpected. I am thankful that I will be able to provide adequate representation for Dominica in a conference such as this which allows young people to sit at this table and be involved in the conversation surrounding climate change and everything related to the environment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His passion for environmental matters, particularly climate change, was ignited after he witnessed Hurricane Maria&#8217;s devastating impact on his homeland, Dominica, in 2017. This firsthand encounter galvanized him into action, leading him to collaborate with the United Nations on sustainable development goal 13 &#8211; climate action.<\/p>\n<p>Valmond&#8217;s aspirations for COP28 are ambitious and far-reaching. He intends to shed light on the challenges that Dominica and other Small Island Developing States (SIDS) face due to climate change. Beyond this, he aims to foster collaboration between indigenous groups, sharing knowledge and techniques to collectively address the climate crisis. An equally crucial aspect of his mission involves advocating for streamlined access to climate resilience project funding for SIDS like Dominica.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By my presence, it becomes evident that even in the wake of Hurricane Maria&#8217;s impact in 2017, the youth of Dominica persist in their advocacy for climate change action. This stems from the recognition that this issue imperils both our livelihoods and the prospects of future generations,&#8221; the young climate change advocate contended.<\/p>\n<p>Valmond eagerly anticipates that policymakers will facilitate substantive participation at decision-making levels, inviting young voices to contribute their insights on climate change solutions. Drawing from the words of United Nations Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres, he underlined the pivotal role that young people play in the battle against the climate crisis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While it&#8217;s commonly said that youth are the future, we must recognize that we are the present, and need a seat at the table to shape a beneficial future for ourselves and generations to come,&#8221; he emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the horizon of COP28, and his advocacy for youth involvement in decision-making processes at all levels, his dedication extends to championing cultural preservation and leveraging the wisdom of indigenous communities to make significant strides in the global fight against climate change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost times when I enter these scenes I always include indigenous people and climate change as one unit because our knowledge as indigenous people can help any nation in the fight against climate change,\u201d Valmond declared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we are allowed to do that then we would be a huge asset to any company, agency, or government,\u201d the climate activist added. \u201cSo meaningful young engagements in decision-making platforms, further climate activism, and advocacy and also youth, peace and security are top on my agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&nbsp; In an era where the voice of youth is resonating louder
