Nominations are now being accepted for the CARICOM Sustainable Energy Youth Award (SEYA) and the CARICOM Women in Sustainable Energy Award (WISE).
SEYA is being offered for the first time and targets persons between the ages of 16 and 35, while the WISE award has been offered twice before. The awards seek to recognise the important roles of women and youth in the energy sector as professionals, entrepreneurs, decision-makers, and consumers. They also seek to highlight the importance of gender diversity to enhance the success of the clean energy transition.
These initiatives profile and celebrate women and youth who demonstrate dedication, innovation, creativity, and commitment to the community, by taking action on the energy transition at the local, national, regional, or international levels, in public, private, and civil society sectors.
Nominations will close on 31 December 2024. Thereafter, a panel of judges will review and shortlist the honourees. The awards will be presented in 2025.
Caribbean citizens and residents can access additional information and nomination forms here.
The call for nominations is one of the activities of the 2024 CARICOM Energy Month observed in November.
