SOLORICON Ltd., through the Caribbean Climate Justice Project and Youth IRIE – Innovators for Renewable and Inclusive Energy, proudly announces the official launch of its new graphic novel series, Climate Tipping Point, on Earth Day, April 22, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the British High Commission in Vigie, Saint Lucia.
This landmark event is hosted in collaboration with the British High Commission in Saint Lucia, underscoring a shared commitment to amplifying climate awareness, youth empowerment, and environmental justice across the Caribbean. The Climate Tipping Point series is a bold and imaginative fusion of science, storytelling, and advocacy, designed to engage Caribbean youth and the wider public in the urgent fight against climate change.
The twelve-part series presents the climate crisis through gripping narratives that reflect the lived experiences and existential threats faced by Small Island Developing States (SIDS), while showcasing the power of youth-led action. The first three issues in the series—Silent Heat, Survivor, and Raging Waters—have already been published and will be formally showcased at the launch.
These graphic novels explore critical themes such as forest fires fueled by intense heat, human resilience after the passage of a monster storm, and climate-exacerbated flooding. All three titles are available for global purchase online via Amazon and BookBaby. In addition to unveiling this groundbreaking literary initiative, the Caribbean Climate Justice Project will also use the occasion to launch its exciting 2025 programme, themed Youth Artivism for Climate and Energy Justice.
This dynamic programme aims to blend youth activism with artistic expression to deepen public understanding, mobilise advocacy, and expand the reach of climate and energy justice messages across the region. As part of this initiative, the Project will offer training programmes in animation development, along with capacity-building courses in climate justice and the sustainable energy transition, specifically tailored for Caribbean youth. The goal is to equip a new generation of climate communicators, artists, and advocates who can use creative tools to drive transformative change.
