OECS, GIZ and MEXICO2 Host Virtual Business Sector Carbon Workshop

Media Release

Eastern Caribbean countries are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. At the same time, their economies are among those most severely affected by the Covid 19 pandemic. It is widely accepted that recovering from the pandemic and addressing climate change will require a shift to greener, more resilient economies which no longer rely heavily on fossil fuels that cause global warming.


The Paris Agreement (on climate change) provides an opportunity to contribute to the global climate effort through the "trading" of carbon emissions avoided through, for example, the use of renewable energy.

Businesses have an important role to play in transforming Eastern Caribbean societies as influencers and entrepreneurs.Therefore, the OECS, GIZ and Mexico2 will jointly host a virtual Business Sector Carbon Workshop, on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Eastern Caribbean Time.

The objective of the workshop is to better enable private sector interests in the OECS region to leverage business opportunities with respect to carbon credits. It will equip participants with knowledge for developing carbon projects and selling, or buying emission reduction in the region.

About The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States

Back to www.oecs.int

The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) is an International Organisation dedicated to economic harmonisation and integration, protection of human and legal rights, and the encouragement of good governance among independent and non-independent countries in the Eastern Caribbean. The OECS came into being on June 18th 1981, when seven Eastern Caribbean countries signed a treaty agreeing to cooperate with each other while promoting unity and solidarity among its Members. The Treaty became known as the Treaty of Basseterre, so named in honour of the capital city of St. Kitts and Nevis where it was signed. The OECS today, currently has eleven members, spread across the Eastern Caribbean comprising Antigua and Barbuda, Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, St Vincent and The Grenadines, British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Martinique and Guadeloupe.
