Caribbean Philanthropy in Action Week, which took place from October 21-27, 2024, tackled the full spectrum of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through a series of targeted conferences and sessions.

Each day focused on a different theme that related directly to one or more of the SDGs, from addressing hunger and poverty to ensuring climate action, clean water, and gender equality. Sessions like Uniting for Climate Action aligned with SDG 13 (Climate Action), while Philanthropy Meets Creativity incorporated arts and culture to promote inclusive communities (SDG 11).

Through collaborative discussions and strategic partnerships, this weeklong event emphasized the importance of philanthropy in fostering sustainable development across the Caribbean, bringing together thought leaders and advocates to create innovative solutions for the region’s most pressing challenges.

PARTNERSHIPS FOR CLIMATE ACTION, MITIGATION & ADAPTATION TO ACHIEVE SDGS 13, 15 & 17
​October 3rd to October 9th

Since February 2020, the Caribbean Philanthropic Alliance (CariPhilAlliance) and its network of partners have mobilized youth, community-based and non-governmental organizations across 22 Caribbean countries and territories to plant more than 1.4 million trees, through the Caribbean Tree Planting Project (CTPP).
​
These ongoing activities have inspired the Caribbean Tree Planting Week (CTPW), to be celebrated virtually from October 3 to 9, 2022. The week’s events aims to build public awareness of the importance of planting trees – a critical part of the region’s environmental and cultural heritage. At the same time, the week will reflect on how to achieve several of the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015, especially the worst performing SDGs in the Caribbean. According to the 2020 SDG Report, these include SDG #2 (Zero Hunger); #6 (Clean Water & Sanitation); #8 (Decent Work & Economic Growth); #9 (Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure); #10 (Reducing Inequalities); #11 (Sustainable Cities & Communities); #14 (Life Below Water); #15 (Life on Land); #16 (Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions), among others.
