Clean Energy, Good Governance and Regulations
The Sixth Caribbean Sustainable Energy Forum is a Flagship Event of CARICOM Energy Month 2018.
CARICOM Energy Month (CEM) has been established as an annual event, through a mandate from CARICOM Energy Ministers to address the need for increased awareness on energy matters, given the critical importance of energy to the economic development of the Region.
CEM is also a celebration of the significant strides that have been made within the CARICOM Region in our transition to a sustainable energy pathway. The ultimate goal is to achieve long-term, lasting behavioral changes. It is intended to engage a wide cross section of society and stakeholders, to ensure that individuals and organizations understand the impacts of, and take action to respond to critical energy issues.
CARICOM Energy Month is a collaborative initiative of the CARICOM Secretariat, Member States, Regional institutions and development partners engaged in joint advocacy and committed to addressing key energy issues and promoting cooperation based on common interests and needs within the Community.
