St. Lucia NT not seen in good books of the government, press them when they do the wrong thing, try to advocate for ratification, gotten some funds, because of COVID, ltos of activities didn’t happen, OSF funds included workshop with UNECLAC, with government of St. Lucia in November, CSO, government workers see the gaps and see what St. Lucia has in law: in November, session for youth groups in St. Lucia
Sometimes government doesn’t see St. Lucia NT in good light, even if we share information, it’s good for raising awareness, comment undr postsis good, but if we want them to take action, may feel embarassed if notable people call them out, might be a good strategy
St. Lucia was made known in the environmental sphere: then Minister Jimmy Fletcher, instrumental in pushing 1.5 to stay alive climate change conference a few years ago, 3+ years ago. Present government says they want to ratify, but not showing the political will
St. Lucia National Trust works with Ministry of Sustainable Development, technocrats work really well, Prime Minister has problems with it, school visits on Escazú, radio programs
Person who has power =issue
Get some popular people to call them out: congratulate St. Lucia, why not ratify before September
Comment: tag him Prime Minister: Alan Chasmet

Prime Minister also deals the National Trust, but now :(
UWP: Governing party: united workers party: Google their manifesto, spoke to issues of 3 pillars of Escazú, public partic...
Tool to say- election is coming up- govenrmnet promised to do this, Escazú would be a really good tool to get this done, hope administration, keep it positive, congratulate for signing, good for being leader in Eastern Caribbean, wider Caribbean
Youth Participation
Caribbean Youth Environmnetal Network: there is a St. Lucia chapter, ere members
