Grant Overview

The US Virgin Islands face significant environmental challenges, including the impacts of climate change and extractive industries on local ecosystems. The islands' population of approximately 109,000 people is concentrated in urban areas, with rural communities facing significant challenges in accessing resources and support for environmental justice. The Caribbean Environmental Justice project aims to address these challenges by creating a social media campaign and producing documentary content that promotes environmental justice and community-led development. To be successful, applicants must demonstrate a clear understanding of the local context, including the historical and ongoing impacts of colonialism and extractive industries on the islands' ecosystems. Eligible applicants include local non-profits, community organizations, and media producers with a proven track record of working in environmental justice. Applications will be evaluated based on their ability to meet the specific needs of the US Virgin Islands' environmental justice movement, including the need for culturally relevant content and community-led development. Unlike neighboring Caribbean islands, the US Virgin Islands require applicants to demonstrate a specific understanding of the local environmental context, including the impacts of hurricanes and other extreme weather events. The islands' geographic location, with its proximity to the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, also presents unique opportunities for environmental storytelling. With a strong focus on environmental justice and community-led development, this grant program is well-positioned to support the US Virgin Islands' environmental justice movement. The program will also support the development of local media infrastructure, including the creation of a media production facility and training programs for local media makers. ## Environmental Justice in the US Virgin Islands ## Rural-Urban Dynamics ## Supporting Community-Led Development
