From cultural memory to climate action, hear from Pepukaye Bardouille, director of Bridgetown Initiative and special adviser on climate resilience in Barbados Prime Minister’s Office, as she explores how interconnected systems—community, environment, policy, and economy—shape Caribbean climate resilience.  

This daytime lecture sets the stage for the evening’s roundtable conversation at Carnival at the Museum: A Climate Fete, expanding the dialogue from tradition to transformation.
