Walter Roban, the Minister of Home Affairs, recently engaged in talks with decision-makers mapping out the green energy transition across the Caribbean.
The 2024 High-Level Caribbean Forum was held in Bridgetown, Barbados earlier this month, and marked the first in-person convening of the event since 2019.
It brought together ministers of finance, central bank governors and other key stakeholders.
The Forum, hosted by the International Monetary Fund in collaboration with the Government of Barbados, focused on the theme ‘Managing the Green Energy Transition.’
Minister Roban said: “This Forum is a critical platform for Caribbean nations to unite and tackle the complex challenges of climate change and transitioning to a green energy future.
“Bermuda remains steadfast in its commitment to reducing carbon emissions and leveraging innovative technologies to build a sustainable future for future generations.” end quote.
Key topics explored during the forum included: The macroeconomic implications of the green energy transition; strategies for a sustainable and equitable green energy future; unlocking private investment and the role of financial institutions – and strengthening international partnerships to support the green energy transition.
