Thirteen women from ten Caribbean countries are strengthening their knowledge, building professional networks and preparing to contribute to the region’s energy future through the 2026 Women in Renewable Energy (WIRE) Fellowship Programme.

The Caribbean's energy transition must extend beyond electricity generation. How the region moves people and goods is also central to reducing fossil fuel dependence, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and strengthening energy security.

The Caribbean has set ambitious targets for climate action, energy security and sustainable transport. Turning those commitments into tangible progress, however, requires more than investment pledges.

CCREEE’s first side event at the CARICOM Pavilion at COP31 placed inclusion at the center of discussions on how the Caribbean can advance its energy transition while creating meaningful opportunities for women and young people.
