The Boiling Point Podcast
Youth voices for climate action
We often hear the saying that we do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.
Children and young people have a right to be part of the decisions and actions that protect our planet. The future they will inherit is being shaped today by how we respond to climate change, disasters and environmental challenges.
- What does climate change mean for young people in Belize?
- How can schools, families and communities prepare for stronger storms, extreme heat, flooding and other climate-related challenges?
- How can young people become part of the solution?
The Boiling Point is a new youth-focused podcast series that puts these conversations front and center. Produced in partnership with NVISION, Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre, and UNICEF Belize, the podcast premieres on 27 November and will create a platform to engage youth, climate experts, educators and community leaders to explore the issues shaping Belize's future. Climate action is everyone's responsibility, and young voices are essential in helping to build the resilient future we all want to see.
Why The Boiling Point?
Climate change is already affecting the lives of children and young people across Belize. Hurricanes, flooding, droughts, coastal erosion and other climate-related hazards can impact education, health, safety and wellbeing. Belize is among the most climate-vulnerable countries in the region, making climate awareness and preparedness more important than ever.
The Boiling Point was created to help young people better understand these challenges through relatable conversations, practical advice and inspiring stories from Belize and across the Caribbean. The podcast also highlights how climate action and disaster preparedness can help protect children, families and communities.
Made for Young People and Schools
Hosted by Shynia Wilson and social media content creator Passam, The Boiling Point brings climate conversations to life through engaging discussions that connect with young audiences.
Designed for young people aged 14 to 18, teachers and school communities, each episode breaks down important climate topics into simple, engaging conversations that are easy to understand and act on. Through interactive dialogue, thought-provoking questions and youth-centered storytelling, Shynia and Passam create a space where young people can share perspectives, explore solutions and discover how their everyday choices and actions can contribute to a more sustainable and climate-resilient Belize. The series will be shared through partner platforms and school networks to encourage discussion and action both inside and outside the classroom.

Young People Are Not Just the Future. They Are the Present.
Young people are powerful agents of change. Their ideas, creativity and leadership are essential in building a more climate-resilient Belize.
Young people have the right to be informed, to participate in decisions that affect their lives and to help shape solutions to the climate crisis. Whether it is leading environmental initiatives at school, helping families prepare for emergencies, protecting local ecosystems, reducing waste, or speaking up on issues that matter, every young person has a role to play.
Through The Boiling Point, UNICEF is encouraging young people to learn more about climate change, build practical preparedness skills and take meaningful action in their communities. When young people are equipped with knowledge and opportunities, they can help create safer, stronger and more sustainable communities for everyone.
