Belize is positioning itself as a frontrunner in the global shift toward renewable energy, as highlighted during the Belize International Partners Conference. Organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Economic Transformation, this two-day event brought together leaders and international allies to strategize on climate resilience and sustainable development. With the theme “Investing in the Green Transition,” the conference emphasized actionable solutions across energy innovation, e-mobility, sustainable infrastructure, and education. Belize, a small island developing state in the Caribbean, faces unique challenges but is determined to leverage its potential in the renewable energy sector. Minister of Foreign Affairs Francis Fonseca underscored the importance of collaboration in overcoming structural, regulatory, and financial hurdles. He revealed that ongoing green projects in Belize are valued at over $787 million, with an additional $1.8 billion worth of initiatives in the pipeline. The conference aims to pool expertise, experience, and funding to devise effective strategies tailored to Belize’s specific needs as a vulnerable yet ambitious nation.
