Catalyzing Low-Carbon Sustainable Development in the Caribbean Region: Clean Energy Successes in Antigua and Barbuda, Belize and Trinidad and Tobago

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) identify specific targets to 'end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all.' Significantly scaling up deployment and provision of clean energy will be essential to achieve these goals. There is a critical opportunity to further align clean energy action and sustainable development by articulating a low carbon development pathway to achieve crucial, interlinked climate and development goals. This brochure overviews how the Organization of American States (OAS), through its Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA) program called the Sustainable Energy Capacity Building Initiative (SECBI) being executed by the Department of Sustainable Development, and the Clean Energy Ministerial's Clean Energy Solutions Center, are supporting Caribbean countries in design and implementation of robust sustainable energy action plans and broader clean energy policy frameworks.
