Theme: Adapting and recalibrating

The global landscape for sustainable energy has shifted in the past year, with some major economies, in particular the United States, cancelling or restructuring previous policies to encourage investments into lower carbon energy sources. Other economies and major companies have refocused their investments into a less rapid transition to new clean sources of energy. At the same time, overall global investments into low carbon energy have continued to grow, with the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimating that total clean energy investment worldwide (renewables, electric vehicles, nuclear power, grids, storage, low-emissions fuels, efficiency improvements and heat pumps) was expected to exceed $2 trillion in 2024, far surpassing the $1 trillion going to coal, gas and oil.

The Caribbean Sustainable Energy Conference will explore the implications of these global trends for the Caribbean region and how the region should adapt and recalibrate policies and programmes in the evolving global investment climate."
