This paper on sustainable bioenergy was drafted collectively by UN-Energy members, which include all of the United Nations(UN) agencies, programmes, and organizations working in the area of energy, reflecting their insights and expertise. it is intended to contribute to international discussions on the strategies and policies needed to ensure economic, sustainable, and equitable development of bioenergy in the years ahead. The paper points to key social, economic, and ecological; sustainability issues raised by the rapid development of bioenergy in both small and large-scale applications. It encompasses the entire bioenergy value chain, from production to use, with the goal of providing...
This report provides a brief overview of the role of energy storage against the background of current trends in power systems with a particular emphasis on developing countries. It introduces the different ways in which storage can help meet policy objectives and overcome technical challenges in the power sector, it provides guidance on how to determine the value of storage solutions from a system perspective, and discusses relevant aspects of policy, market and regulatory frameworks to facilitate storage deployment. The document is intended to highlight relevant issues, provide guidance to policymakers and regulators in this relatively new area and identify...
This document was developed by the renewable energy department of the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre looks at different waste methods to generate energy. Key Words: waste to energy, biogas, gasification, composting and fermentation, incineration
Stronger policies and raised climate goals leading into COP26 are driving renewables to new records, but faster deployment across all key sectors is needed to reach net zero. Key Words: Renewable, Climate Change, generate electricity
Remote work is more environmentally friendly than working in an office. Benefits include greenhouse gas reductions particularly in relation to commuter transport. Additionally, when employers offer remote work options, they experience a better reputation, boosted customer loyalty, and have happier, healthier employees. Key Word: work from home, greenhouse gas, ghg

Caribbean SIDS are the least to contributors and are the most vulnerable to the impact of climate change. With limited natural resources and small economies of scale, the economic cost associated with climate change is estimated to be 15% of the combined GDP. With climate change and the Sustainable Developing Goals in mind, infrastructure systems have the ability to address these issues. Key Words: Climate mitigation, Sustainable Developing Goals, Small Island Developing States, SIDS,

This journal article explores the potential for increasing the share of renewables in Suriname’s electricity mix, with a special focus on the complementary role of existing hydropower and future wind power infrastructure. The article demonstrates that wind and hydro resources have great synergetic potential for displacing fossil fuel-based power generation.. The results presented in the article have relevance for climate policy in various Caribbean countries and other island states with existing hydropower infrastructure and substantial wind/solar power potential, for which this study fills an important literature gap.
The Caribbean Forum on Energy, Transport, and Resilience was held at the Bay Gardens Hotel, Rodney Bay, Saint Lucia, from June 26 to 27, 2019. It was hosted by the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Government of Saint Lucia, with support from the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission. With the objective of exploring new technologies and combining them with existing regional experiences in sustainable urban development, the event had an overall goal to design a roadmap for the Caribbean smart cities of the future. The forum sought to further public-private exchanges among governments, energy and transportation...
