SUMMARY:Caribbean Water-Energy Nexus Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:\nTuesday, November 15, 2016 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM\nCaribbean Water-Energy Nexus Dialogue\n \nMarriott Courtyard Bridgetown ⦁ The Garrison Historic Area ⦁ Hastings ⦁ Christ Church\nBridgetown ⦁ Barbados\nThe OAS Department of Sustainable Development with the support of the Government of Italy is hosting this Dialogue, under the auspices of the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA). On May 25-26, 2015, Caribbean and Latin American Energy Ministers and Senior Officials met in Merida for the Second Ministerial Meeting of the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas. During the Ministerial, the secretaries of energy of Panama, Mexico and the United States participated in a water-energy nexus discussion addressing the linkages, best practices, and potential for collaboration in the water-energy nexus. On May 24-25, 2016, water and energy experts and practitioners met in Panama City to follow up on the dialogue initiated in Merida and review ways to promote integrated water and energy management, showcase successful experiences, and encourage cooperation on these topics. This dialogue will provide an opportunity to look at the nexus in the Caribbean context.\nPresentations:\n\nWater for Energy and Energy for Water: Identifying the Nexus in the Caribbean\n\nMaximiliano Campos, Principal Water Resources Specialist, Sustainable Development, OAS. See presentation, here.\nJuan Cruz Monticelli, Senior Energy Specialist, Sustainable Development, OAS. See presentation, here.\n\nLinkages between water and energy in the Caribbean context\n\nHorace Archer, Senior Technical Officer, Renewable Energy & Energy Conservation Unit, Barbados. See presentation, here.\nIf mainstreamed, the water-energy nexus approach is a valuable management scheme to address challenges and opportunities in water and energy, identify and resolve trade-offs, foster synergies, and optimize outcomes across different actors and sectors.\n\nPower generation, agricultural production and tourism\n\nAl Binger, Interim Executive Director, Caribbean Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency. See presentation, here.\nWater and energy systems are closely connected in agricultural irrigation, domestic and industrial supply, water treatment, power, and cooling. Improving the efficiency of coupled water-energy systems through better management and infrastructure investment planning would benefit water and energy security. This session will analyze ways to meet these challenges in the Caribbean with a focus on cross-sectorial collaboration at the regional and local levels.\n\nAvailable tools for an Integrated Management of the Water-Energy Nexus\n\nZachary Clement, General Engineer, U.S. Department of Energy. See presentation, here.\nAdvantages and feasibility of integrated water and energy management will be discussed in light of the discussions held in the previous session.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBridgetown\nBarbados\n\n\n\nPosted By: AdminR – Saturday, 01 October, 2016 at 12:00 AM\n\n
