Caribbean Ozone Officers Regional Meeting

Trinidad and Tobago participated in the 2025 Caribbean Thematic Network Meeting and Sustainable Cooling Exhibition held from 16–18 June 2025 in St. George’s, Grenada. This regional forum, convened by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) OzonAction and hosted by the Government of Grenada, brought together Ozone Officers, regional experts, and key stakeholders to discuss implementation strategies under the Montreal Protocol and its Kigali Amendment. Trinidad and Tobago’s presence was both timely and significant, as the country is advancing its national Hydrochlorofluorocarbon Phase-out Management Plan (HPMP) and implementing the Kigali Implementation Plan (KIP) to phase down hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). The meeting allowed the country to engage directly with Implementing Agencies, policy and technical experts, and potential donors benefiting from shared regional experiences, funding updates, and technical support that directly align with its national climate and ozone commitments.
