Ten journalists from across the Caribbean have been selected for the inaugural reporting grants offered by the Caribbean Energy Transition Reporting Initiative (CETRI), in a move aimed at strengthening coverage of clean energy and climate resilience in the region.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The cohort includes both experienced reporters and emerging journalists who will produce people-focused stories on the shift to low-carbon development. The grants follow CETRI\u2019s expanded 2025 training programme, which featured virtual sessions and its first in-person workshop in Dominica under the theme \u201cScience Meets Storytelling.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CETRI, launched to build regional capacity in energy reporting, says it aims to provide communities with reliable, research-based information on renewable energy, climate adaptation and innovation.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The selected journalists will cover a wide range of issues, including Dominica\u2019s geothermal development, solar-powered agriculture in Antigua and Barbuda, clean-tech entrepreneurship in St Vincent and the Grenadines, and Guyana\u2019s solar support for single mothers. Other themes include workforce readiness, manufacturing opportunities for young people, and post-hurricane energy recovery.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

CETRI Project Coordinator Alison Kentish described the awards as \u201ca milestone for regional journalism\u201d, saying they reflect growing demand for deeper and more community-centred energy reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With interest in climate resilience rising, CETRI plans to expand training, expert networks and reporting support through 2026, aiming to ensure the Caribbean\u2019s energy transition is documented with accuracy, depth and human impact.<\/p>
