PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation
Caribbean countries are disproportionately dependent on imported fossil fuels for energy and transport. At the same time, they are particularly vulnerable to climate change. Price increases on the global oil market also have a significant impact on the local economy.
If countries generate more electricity from renewable sources and rely more on electromobility, they can reduce economic risks, reduce their dependence on crude oil and contribute to climate protection.
However, very few Caribbean countries have so far included transport measures in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The institutions are not yet in a position to transform the energy and transport industries. Nevertheless, the framework conditions for change are favorable: high oil prices strengthen economic attractiveness and the short distances in smaller countries are particularly suitable for electromobility.
Goal
Caribbean countries are setting ambitious climate goals and are striving for a transport transition based on electromobility and renewable energies.
Approach
The project works in several Caribbean countries and implements the following measures there:
It supports a revision of the national climate contributions and advises those responsible on how to achieve a paradigm shift in the transport and energy sectors.
It demonstrates the benefits of electromobility in pilot measures (electric buses, cars and boats) in Saint Lucia, Jamaica and Guyana. At the same time, it facilitates access to investments in electromobility.
