OAS Co-organizes Caribbean Sustainable Energy Roundtable

  October 7, 2011

The Organization of American States (OAS) and the U.S. Department of State will host on October 12 in Barbados a roundtable discussion about Caribbean sustainable energy aimed at advancing dialogue among Caribbean energy public sector leaders, multilateral development organizations, bilateral donors and other key energy players of the areas that seek to continue with the efforts to improve coordination and development toward a more sustainable energy sector for the Caribbean Region.

The event will take place in the capital of Barbados the day before the launching of the 2011 Caribbean Renewable Energy Forum (CREF), which brings together leaders of Caribbean Governments, the private sector, and the international community to revise renewable energy developments. The outcome of this dialogue will serve as a critical building block for the region’s engagement in the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA).

For further information about the roundtable, contact the OAS General Secretariat through Mark Lambrides at mlambrides@oas org, +1 (202) 458-6261.
