The programme offered a unique opportunity for young Caribbean environmental advocates and community leaders like Miss Sweeney to learn about Climate Justice, engage with global policymakers, and promote climate action.

Miss Sweeney, who is also a Geography and Agricultural Science teacher at the Montserrat Secondary School (MSS), has an opportunity to be selected to travel to the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference in November 2024 in Baku, Azerbaijan, which is fully funded.

In 2023, DMCA contacted Ms. Sweeney to participate in the programme, and without hesitation, she jumped at the opportunity and accepted it quickly and eagerly.

DMCA wishes Ms. Sweeney all the best in her future endeavours and looks forward to working with her on disaster management projects.
