In the new NET ZERO show, Climate Activist Kalaan Nibonrix Kaiman discusses best strategies to achieve Jamaica’s race to Net Zero with UnaMay Gordon, Jamaica’s Principal Director of Climate Change.

Can agroforestry help mitigate climate change and remove CO₂ from our air permanently? In April 2021, Jamaica targeted an ambitious 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The upgraded new goal addressed land use change, forestry emissions, and committing to deeper emission reductions in the energy sector.

In the new NET ZERO show, Climate Activist Kalaan Nibonrix Kaiman interviews UnaMay Gordon, the Principal Director of Climate Change for the Jamaican Government, with over 40 years of climate change and environmental management experience. They discuss the greatest challenges Jamaica is facing and what climate change strategies are helping it achieve its race to Net Zero. Policy makers in Jamaica are working with the municipal cooperation to strengthen the capacity to drive climate action at the local level.

Gordon appeals to people to “place a value on the land, that finite resource that we have,” stating that “if we place a value on our land, the relationship between the people and the land will change.” She adds that the nation will have a problem “if we don’t value the indigineous knowledge and turn it into an asset to help inform policy.”

The Protect our Planet Movement in association with Planet Classroom has launched the acclaimed Net Zero video and podcast series in which 24 youth climate activists from the Protect Our Planet (POP) Movement in association with Planet Classroom ask international thought leaders working on the environment the big questions as to how their nations are progressing towards their 2050 Net Zero pledges.
