Caribbean Youth Environment Network
 
Welcome!

Welcome to the Caribbean Youth Environment Network (CYEN) website. We are a youth based organisation which since our inception in the early 1990’s has focused primarily on issues related to the environment and youth in the Caribbean region. The work of CYEN over the years has served to empower young people through education and advocacy for the voice of the youth in matters such as the environment.

 

Our vision at CYEN is to create an appropriate forum for young people to participate in the design, development, implementation and promotion of progressive, equitable, innovative and sustainable environmental, economic and social development policies and programmes across the wider Caribbean. In so doing the network has engaged the youth of the Caribbean on a number of forums and enjoys a proven track record of successful coordination and implementation of projects and events both at the regional and international level. It is our hope that you can join with us in this mission of sustainable environmental stewardship as it is vital for us the youth to play our part, as eloquently stated by Mahatma Gandhi- “You must be the change you wish to see in the world”.

 

We would like to take this opportunity to warmly invite you to browse our website and make use of the tools and rich resources available. Please feel free to provide us with feed back and suggestions. Thanks again for visiting and we look forward to your continued support and participation.
