CARICOM Energy Month (CEM)

CARICOM Energy Month (CEM) will be observed in November under the theme ‘Invest in Sustainable Energy: Accelerate the Transition’. CEM aims to increase awareness of energy matters in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and celebrate the strides the Community is making to transition to a clean energy pathway. Since its inauguration in 2016, CEM has become the seminal event on the calendar of energy stakeholders including academia, policymakers, private sector, youth, and development partners. The ultimate goal of CEM is long-term, lasting behavioural changes. Tune in to our website and social media platforms to see the various activities.
