Youth Climate Ambassadors Join Prime Minister Davis at COP31

Three young Bahamian leaders have joined Prime Minister Philip Davis at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP31, in Antalya: Youth Climate Ambassador Taylor Cargill, Male SDG Youth Ambassador Kenrick Stubbs and Female SDG Youth Ambassador Ava Richardson.

Over the coming days they will join the Prime Minister’s programme, including The Bahamas Blue Carbon Programme address at the CARICOM Pavilion on Wednesday. The Programme is building the science, skills and institutions of a Bahamian blue economy.

Prime Minister Davis said: “I have said that no one is coming to save us. We must save ourselves, and our young people will carry that work furthest. They will live longest with the decisions taken here, and they are already showing the leadership The Bahamas needs. They belong in this room. I want every young Bahamian at home to know that their country takes their leadership seriously.”

COP31 runs in Antalya from 9 to 20 November 2026. The Prime Minister will also deliver The Bahamas’ national statement to the High-Level Segment on Thursday 12 November.
