Caribbean coun­tries, in­clud­ing Trinidad and To­ba­go, face sig­nif­i­cant con­straints in fi­nanc­ing, in­fra­struc­ture and pol­i­cy co­or­di­na­tion as they pur­sue a just en­er­gy tran­si­tion, ac­cord­ing to a new re­port by Cli­mate An­a­lyt­ics Caribbean (CAC), which warns that cur­rent gaps could un­der­mine im­ple­men­ta­tion across key sec­tors.

A new re­port re­leased on April 16 by Cli­mate An­a­lyt­ics Caribbean has iden­ti­fied pri­or­i­ty sec­tors cen­tral to the Caribbean’s en­er­gy tran­si­tion. These in­clude en­er­gy, tourism, agri­cul­ture and fish­eries, and fi­nance and tech­nol­o­gy.
