Throughout its history, Haiti face challenges related to climate. In order for the then French Colonized Country to get its independence from French, it had to rely upon the climate situation of the period so that slaves could attack slave owners and their army.  Aside from that moment, the world was not found itself in a worrying situation where everywhere people feel a sense of despair in the face of their powerlessness related to climate change. Since the Paris Agreement to reach the minimum 1.5 degree Celsius necessary for human survival, industries continue to pollute the environment and more and more actions are undertaken disregarding the climate consequences.

As a developing country, Haiti must adapt itself according to the current climate situation and ask for more investment in the field because the climate crisis with its economic injustice, environmental injustice and social exclusion and vulnerability is one of the most dangerous threats that pin over each person’s head. In Haiti, the health system is broken; the energy system does not properly work. In case of a zoonotic disease outbreak, so many people could lose their life and by that putting the lives of so many children in jeopardy.

That’s why our organization plans to raise awareness about the issue in schools, universities and through social media so that people could become familiar with the topic and take relevant actions to prevent the worst in case of a climate related shock. In addition, FWB plans to contribute to the creation of a youth network for the climate that will implement project for the climate preservation.
