Ready for climate change
RVA’s Climate Compliance Conference contribution to get more ready for
climate change is to plant vetiver grass with community groups and schools in
all areas prone to erosion in North Leeward. Plans and results from this will be
mapped and serve as a model for the rest of the country.
The conference will furthermore continue finding solutions and develop the
Richmond Beach Coastal Conservation Project as a model for protecting
biodiversity and for an adaptation project to protect against sea level rise and
saline intrusion.
To reduce the amount of garbage in St. Vincent the conference will systematically
work for a reduction or ban of non-biodegradable plastic bags and instead
promote the use of paper bags. Another efficient way to reduce pollution is to
increase the recycling of plastic bottles; the conference will assist the communities
in North Leeward to set up collection points.
