TT official presents sustainability plan

Nicole Olivierre, Trinidad and Tobago’s parliamentary sectary, presented a plan for the implementation of a sustainable energy initiative on Sunday at the International Waterfront Centre. Viewed as a milestone in the country’s development, the plan was developed in collaboration with the EU Technical Assistance Facility.

The document will work as a roadmap towards transitioning the island nation’s economy away from a hydrocarbons-based energy system. “In light of the many changes in the local and international energy sphere, we are obligated to take appropriate steps to transition our energy systems,” Olivierre said during the ceremony.

Tangible benchmarks in the plan include short-term and long-term efforts to be undertaken with a goal of reaching the country’s target of an energy mix composed of 10% renewable energy by 2021 and a 15% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
