Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to visit the Bahamas on Friday, and the Atlantic Council is holding a summit there to discuss climate change in the Caribbean, the New York Times reports.
According to the Atlantic Council, the purpose of the June 9 summit is "to outline best practices in advancing climate resilient clean energy in the Caribbean, identify funding and technical assistance gaps that could be bridged through greater partnership, and explore opportunities to further unleash the clean energy transition in the Caribbean while building greater climate resilience."
"Energy security in the Caribbean is fundamental to Caribbean and US interests but that security is being threatened by high energy prices and the need for a sustained energy transition," Jason Marczak, senior director of the Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center, which houses the Atlantic Council's Caribbean Initiative, says in a press release.
"This is why we are convening this summit on the sidelines of Vice President Harris' visit to the Bahamasfor US and Caribbean governments and private sector leaders to roll up their sleeves and advance concrete solutions to setting a more resilient and long-term course for the region's energy matrix."
