About The Expo
Jamaica's Journey Toward
Sustainability
Building on a successful 2024 launch, the JPS Foundation’s Climate Action Conference and Expo returns to give stakeholders an immersive, hands-on look at climate resilience, emerging technology, and Jamaica’s path to sustainability.
The expo serves as the culmination of JPSF’s year-round climate initiatives, including the EcoSpark Innovation Challenge that spotlights climate-smart solutions from secondary school Energy clubs across Jamaica. Two categories, two paths, one mission: build solutions that protect our island.
3 Expo Zones. 1 Innovation Showdown.
This isn't a lecture series. It's a working expo with live demonstrations, interactive simulations, student innovation showcases, and real conversations between the people making policy and the communities living with the consequences.
