CARICOM regards Belize as an important leader in the shift from fossil fuels to sustainable, renewable solutions.
As a prelude to the upcoming Caribbean Sustainable Energy Forum to be hosted by Mena next week, CARICOM has supported the decision for other countries and experts to witness Belize’s progress to date, where some 60% of the country’s electricity grid is supplied from renewable and sustainable sources.
Member states of CARICOM share common energy challenges.
Based on those challenges, it has become apparent that increasing sustainable energy production, delivery and use, through renewable energy applications and energy efficiency measures, can provide powerful opportunities to promote sustainable development.
