Skills Transfer & Knowledge Sharing Opportunities
The Jamaican diaspora has a wealth of expertise and resources that can significantly contribute to Jamaica's climate resilience. Here are some key ways diaspora members can make a difference through skills transfer and knowledge sharing:
Workshops and Training Programs
Workshops and training sessions to share their knowledge on climate adaptation techniques, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy solutions, and disaster risk management. These programs can empower local communities with the skills needed to thrive in a changing climate.
