Caribbean Regional Sustainable
Energy High Level Seminar:
Implementation of CREBAP
Two regional sustainable energy
events to be held on July 23 and 24, 2008 at the Sheraton Cable Beach
Resort in Nassau, the Bahamas
The Department for Sustainable
Development, IADB, IICA and the Government of the United States are
collaborating to convene the Caribbean Regional Sustainable Energy
High Level Seminar on July 23, 2008. On the following day, July 24,
2008, a Seminar entitled Opportunities for Renewable Energy in the
Caribbean, sponsored by the Government of the United States will be
convened.
The synergy of these two events provides
the possibility of gathering the main energy and agro-energy
stakeholders of the Caribbean for a regional effort to promote the
implementation of the CREBAP and to facilitate the expansion of
sustainable energy development throughout the Caribbean.
Objectives of the Seminar
The Caribbean Regional Sustainable
Energy High Level Seminar is designed to offer a forum to high level
participants from Caribbean Governments and the donor community for
identifying:
- Key impediments to promoting
renewable energy and energy efficiency alternatives;
- Priority technical and capacity
building needs, and
- Opportunities for rationalizing and
improving coordination among the many entities working in the region.
CREBAP will be presented as an effective instrument to address these
issues.
