Scope of Work
Climate Analytics Caribbean, based in Trinidad and Tobago supports governments in translating international climate agreements into national targets, policies and governance arrangements. The Caribbean office also works with regional civil society to raise awareness and knowledge about climate change, its impacts and the implications of the global discussion for the Caribbean. Current focus areas include renewable energy, research on adaptation and loss and damage, as well as policy approaches to the just transition and climate justice.
To further accelerate momentum around the deployment and use of renewable energy, CA-Caribbean aims to organise a short series of strategic workshops on clean energy in the Caribbean that will convene a unique group of stakeholders from community-based organizations, engaged community members, energy thought leaders, technology experts, academic institutions, civil society, private sector entities, and youth representatives.
The workshops will be set within the overarching context of the renewable energy landscape within the region and will be designed to provide participants with an improved understanding of the current energy landscape in the region, as well as an opportunity to identify and share opportunities for increasing clean energy. The series will aim to highlight and collate major existing avenues for renewable energy action in the Caribbean, as well as any underexplored options. Simultaneously, participants will be given space to exchange insights on their ongoing energy-related endeavours and experiences within the country, as well as envision and articulate their aspirations for the future energy landscape of the region. The workshop series will include an exercise through which participants develop a bottom-up strategic roadmap for clean energy in the Caribbean and at the end of the workshop series, private sector participants will be invited to sign an optional clean energy transition pledge to accelerate the transition in the region.
