The impact of climate change has several witnessed in the small island nations such as Dominica or the entire region of the Caribbean, which results in Hurricane Maria and Tropical Erika. These impacts have severely damaged Dominica and caused huge destruction, including the destruction of the entire infrastructure of the nature island.
In addition to that, the government of Dominica aimed to become the first climate-resilient nation through which the country will set an example to promote environment-friendly things. It also helps to reduce the various other impacts of climate change.
Melissa Skerrit said that the Programme is aimed to improve and boost the efforts in waste management by recycling the products.
Melissa Skerrit added, “This innovative program aims at improving waste management through the provision of recycling options and fostering an appreciation for cleaner, safer surroundings for generations to come.”
