A Caribbean Regional Transition Scenario

The document outlines the need to replace aging diesel-based energy models in the Caribbean with resilient, affordable renewable systems to combat climate impacts and foster economic growth. It provides a toolkit for transition planning, focusing on policy frameworks, investment needs, and specific technology pathways to reach 100% renewable energy.

• The Caribbean energy transition has progressed slowly because few clean energy projects reach the market for investment, despite the existence of successful first-of-their-kind renewable projects and some commercial interest.
• The region's energy challenge is centered on the need to upgrade or replace diesel-based energy models that are currently inefficient, aging, and often unaffordable.
• Accelerating the energy transition is critical for the Caribbean due to the immediate impacts of changing weather patterns, intensifying storms, and sea level rise on infrastructure, livelihoods, and ecosystems.
