Welcome to Youth IRIE: Energizing Our Caribbean Future

Introducing Youth IRIE

Welcome to the inaugural blog post of Youth IRIE, the dynamic platform where Caribbean youth unite to forge a sustainable and vibrant future. Our movement is more than just an initiative; it's a revolution that taps into the rich tapestry of Caribbean culture, spirit, and innovation to address the renewable energy transition. Here at Youth IRIE, we believe that our youth are not just the leaders of tomorrow but powerful agents of change today.



Our Mission

Youth IRIE stands for Innovators for Renewable and Inclusive Energy. Our mission is clear: to empower Caribbean youth to actively participate in shaping their future through sustainable practices and energy solutions. We aim to inspire, educate, and mobilize young people to advocate for and implement just and equitable sustainable energy solutions across our islands.


Why Youth IRIE?

The Caribbean, with its unique environmental and socio-economic challenges, is at the forefront of climate change impacts. Rising sea levels, intense hurricanes, and fluctuating weather patterns threaten our way of life. However, these challenges also present unprecedented opportunities to lead the way in global sustainability efforts.


Youth IRIE was conceived as a response to these challenges, providing a platform for the voices of Caribbean youth to be heard loud and clear. By involving young people in the transition to renewable energy and sustainable practices, we are not only safeguarding our environment but also creating avenues for economic and social empowerment.


What We Aim to Accomplish


  1. Educational Outreach: Through webinars, workshops, and seminars, we provide Caribbean youth with the knowledge and tools they need to be effective proponents of sustainable energy.

  2. Community Projects: We support and fund youth-led initiatives that demonstrate innovative approaches to renewable energy and energy efficiency.

  3. Policy Advocacy: Youth IRIE acts as a bridge between youth voices and policymakers, ensuring that the concerns and solutions proposed by our youth are integral to national and regional energy strategies.

  4. Networking and Collaboration: By connecting young leaders with experts, activists, and mentors in the field, we foster a collaborative environment conducive to innovation and change.
