Transforming Energy Reporting in the Caribbean
In the Caribbean, transitioning to clean, affordable energy is not just essential for combating climate change; it represents one of the most significant stories of our time.
The Challenge
As small island developing states (SIDS) grapple with the challenges of relying heavily on imported fossil fuels, the urgency for a shift towards renewable energy becomes increasingly clear. This transition is critical not only for environmental sustainability but also for economic resilience and community well-being.
Our Mission
Recognizing this pressing need, the Caribbean Energy Reporting Initiative (CETRI) is a year-long program dedicated to empowering journalists with the skills necessary for effective energy transition storytelling. Led by an experienced climate journalist, CETRI equips reporters to craft deeply-researched and impactful narratives that illuminate the importance of renewable energy initiatives in our region.
Our Impact
By providing a dedicated platform for locally-relevant coverage of energy transition issues, we aim to inform Caribbean audiences about sustainable energy solutions and the transformative potential of a just energy transition. Through this initiative, we seek to enhance Caribbean journalism, ensuring that reporters are better equipped to meet the region's energy and climate information needs.
