  1. South-South and Technological Cooperation forClimate Action and Sustainable Development Regional TEM-M - 12th July 2018, Singapore Prepared by Mr. Solomone Fifita, Manager - PCREEE www.pcreee.org

  2. SIDS Reality • Lack of economy of scale • Inadequate skilled technical manpower • Heavy reliance on grant aid • Very low private sector investment • Progress on RE and EE is generally slow • Reliability and affordability continue to be constraints to SD

  3. Regional Centres of Excellence on RE and EE Contribute towards increased access to modern, affordable and reliable energy services, energy security and mitigation of negative externalities of the energy system (e.g. local pollution, GHG emissions) by creating an enabling environment for renewable energy and energy efficiency markets and investments.

  4. Technical Programme of the regional centres Capacities of the public and private sectors on various RE&EE aspects strengthened and applied (e.g. training and research networks, accreditation and certification) Availability of investment and market data, awareness and advocacy on sustainable energy are strengthened (e.g. RE&EE Observatory, campaigns, RE&EE industry report) 3. Investment and business opportunities for local companies and industry are created and implemented (e.g. investment pipeline and forums, facility to support local businesses and start-ups) Respond to the needs of countries and private sector

  5. The ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE) - SIDS DOCK hub for the African SIDS (www.ecreee.org) - 2010

  6. Caribbean Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (CCREEE) - 2015 • Validation workshop, held from 21 to 22 July 2014 in Dominica • CCREEE approved by the Ministerial COTEDs on Energy and Environment in November 2014 and February 2015 • The 36th Regular Meeting of CARICOM Heads of Government, held at Bridgetown, Barbados, 2-4 July 2015, endorsed the creation of CCREEE and confirmed Barbados, as the host country. • Inauguration of the centre took place on 28 October 2015 in Barbados

  7. PCREEE - 2017

  8. SIDS-SIDS Cooperation / Global Network of Regional Sustainable Energy Centers UNIDO supports regional organizations and their member states in the creation of regional sustainable energy centers
