NEWS TO YOU - Race to the Sun: Caribbean-Taiwan Partnership

Taiwan has stepped up with US $200,000 to supercharge the Eastern Caribbean Solar Challenge — the first US $80,000 is already powering public-sector solar in Saint Lucia!

Launched in 2021 by Saint Lucia and the OECS, this "Race to the Sun" is rallying governments, businesses, and households to install 6.5 MW of solar by 2025 across the region.

Why this shines:
1. Lower energy costs & less fossil-fuel dependency
2. Boosts resilience against climate shocks
3. Creates green jobs & sustainable growth

DID YOU KNOW? The plastics crisis is now a production crisis. Over 95 countries at the UN Ocean Conference in Nice, backed the “Nice Wake‑Up Call,” pushing for the Global Plastics Treaty to limit new plastic production—not just manage waste or boost recycling.

What’s next? A lifecycle approach targeting production, harmful chemicals, design, and implementation. Treaty talks resume in Geneva, in August 2025. Proponents say they need legally binding cuts to plastic production.

Here's how YOU can be part of the change:
1️. Choose reusable alternatives
2️. Urge your government to support plastic production limits
3️. Raise awareness—tag a friend who cares about our oceans!

Dominica’s 10 MW Geothermal Power Plant is rising in the lush Roseau Valley! Situated in Laudat, this clean-energy game-changer is set to power 23,000 homes — day and night — using the Earth’s natural heat.

Financed by a US $34.8M CDB loan and built by Ormat under a 25-year agreement signed at COP 28, the plant is scheduled to light up by Christmas Day 2025. This means lower energy bills, fewer emissions, and stronger resilience for the Nature Isle.

Why it matters:
1. Reduces fossil fuel use
2. Supports national #cleanenergy goals
3. Creates green jobs & energy security

COUNTRY FOCUS - Guyana’s “Wet Neighborhood” — Rich in Oil, Risky for the Climate

Guyana is at the heart of a high-stakes paradox: massive offshore oil wealth vs growing climate threats. In a region dubbed the “wet neighborhood,” Guyana faces both opportunity and peril. Professor Ivelaw Griffith urges smart governance to ensure oil profits don’t come at the cost of climate resilience.

Sargassum Strategy: Grenada Invests in Seaweed Solutions

A seaweed once seen as a nuisance may now hold the key to economic opportunity. The Grenada Solid Waste Management Authority has received five specially designed vessels from the Japan International Cooperation Agency, marking a major step toward the commercial collection of Sargassum seaweed. The vessels will help trap and collect the invasive seaweed before it washes ashore — part of a broader plan to transform this environmental challenge into a viable business opportunity. As training continues and international interest grows, the Authority is positioning Sargassum not as waste, but as a resource with real commercial promise.

Sargassum Alert! The Caribbean is facing one of its worst seaweed invasions in 2025.

HAVE YOU SEEN the thick mats of Sargassum washing up on beaches, disrupting marine life and tourism? Scientists warn that climate change is fueling this crisis, with rising ocean temperatures and pollution creating the perfect storm for excessive growth.

Why is this happening? 1. Warmer waters accelerate Sargassum spread. 2. Agricultural runoff feeds the bloom. 3. Deforestation disrupts natural nutrient cycles.

Solutions? Governments are working on cleanup efforts, but the real fix lies in tackling climate change and reducing pollution.

Post your photos and videos of the Sargassum in your area in the comments and tell us the location.

Turning Sargassum Seaweed into Sustainable Solutions

Massive sargassum seaweed blooms, exacerbated by climate change and water pollution, have plagued Caribbean shores, particularly in Grenada. These blooms emit methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and harm tourism and fisheries. However, initiatives are underway to transform this challenge into opportunity. Start-ups like SarGas are converting seaweed into biogas to power local energy demands, potentially reducing reliance on imported diesel and greenhouse emissions. Additionally, sargassum is being explored for use in construction materials, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Clean Energy Wave: Grenada, St. Lucia & SVG Get US$110M Boost

The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank and World Bank have launched the US$110 million Caribbean Resilient Renewable Energy Infrastructure Investment Facility, approved on April 17, 2025, to boost clean energy in Grenada, Saint Lucia & St Vincent & the Grenadines.

By pooling projects regionally, upgrading grids with battery storage, and mobilizing US$120 million in credit guarantees, we’re tackling high electricity costs and building energy resilience. Comprehensive training, technical support, and an innovative insurance product with CCRIF will protect our green energy future. This initiative will also create new jobs and foster energy sector skills through scholarships and apprenticeships.

Let’s light up the Caribbean with renewable power! #CleanEnergy #EnergyResilience #CaribbeanBright
