DESCRIPTION:Residents of the Caribbean region are among the first to see di
 rect climate change impacts\, including more frequent and severe storms\, 
 and sea level rise. However\, islands are taking action and leading an ene
 rgy transition that not only improves their safety\, independence\, resili
 ence\, and economic development\, but also shows that islands can provide 
 solutions to the global climate challenge. Each island is unique\, with di
 fferent objectives for their energy future and different options available
 . At the same time\, islands in the Caribbean have utilized common practic
 es to plan for and implement a shift to clean energy\, rather than the imp
 orted fossil fuel that is commonly used. Resilience has been a core priori
 ty in both the overall design and the implementation of this energy transi
 tion. The experience of islands in creating an energy future that is resil
 ient\, reliable\, low-cost\, and sustainable can inform similar transition
 s in other countries and regions.\n\nSpeaker(s): Kaitlyn\, \n\nVirtual: ht

X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Residents of the Caribbean region are amon
 g the first to see direct climate change impacts\, including more frequent
  and severe storms\, and sea level rise. However\, islands are taking acti
 on and leading an energy transition that not only improves their safety\, 
 independence\, resilience\, and economic development\, but also shows that
  islands can provide solutions to the global climate challenge. Each islan
 d is unique\, with different objectives for their energy future and differ
 ent options available. At the same time\, islands in the Caribbean have ut
 ilized common practices to plan for and implement a shift to clean energy\
 , rather than the imported fossil fuel that is commonly used. Resilience h
 as been a core priority in both the overall design and the implementation 
 of this energy transition. The experience of islands in creating an energy
  future that is resilient\, reliable\, low-cost\, and sustainable can info
 rm similar transitions in other countries and regions.</p>
