The Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre(CCCCC), through its 3R-CReWS Barbados project funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF), and members from the Barbados Water Authority recently conducted a site visit at the Bridgetown Sewage Treatment Plant. Leading the visit was Mr. Tyrone Lowe - Superintendent of Works in the Wastewater section, who provided an in-depth analysis of the ongoing Upgrading of the Bridgetown Sewage Treatment Plant project. Mr. Lowe explained that the primary objective of the project is to repurpose the effluent produced for agricultural and other non-domestic uses. This initiative is a significant step toward enhancing the sustainability of Barbados' water system, ensuring more water is available for non-potable purposes and helping to alleviate the island's water scarcity challenges. The CCCCC's involvement in this project underscores its commitment to building the country's resilience to climate change by supporting sustainable water management practices. Residents interested in learning more about this transformative project are encouraged to participate in the tours offered by the Barbados Water Authority, which provide a firsthand look at the improvements being made to ensure a more resilient and sustainable water supply for Barbados. #3R-CReWSBarbados #Climatesustainability #SewageTreatmentPlant

Today, the 3R-CReWS team joined the BWA's Water Conservation Team at the YMCA’s Kids Summer Camp as part of their holiday engagement summer camp. With over 50 campers in attendance, the session began with interactive activities, teaching the best practices for using water wisely. Through engaging discussions and hands-on demonstrations, the children learned about the significance of water conservation and their vital role in protecting the environment. Subsequently, the 3R-CReWS team distributed water conservation flyers to each camper. These flyers provided valuable information and practical tips, encouraging the campers to share their newfound knowledge with their families and communities. #3RCReWSBarbados #waterconservation #summercamp
