LECB Technical Group Sessions

The Multilateral Environmental Agreements Unit of the Ministry of Planning and Development hosted technical workshops  for the development of Low Carbon Action Plans and Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) under the Low Emission Capacity Building (LECB) Programme, Trinidad and Tobago.

These working groups took place on November 5th and 6th, 2015 at the Arthur Lok Jack Graduate School of Business, Mount Hope. The Consultant for these activities, Dr. Axel Michaelowa chaired these sessions.

On November 5th, the first session comprised presentations on NAMAs and Low Carbon Action Plans. The audience included a broad cross section of representatives from government, the private sector and civil society groups. In the afternoon of November 5th, two (2) technical working groups convened for the transportation sector and power generation sector.

A technical working group for the industry sector was held on November 6th. This group was further subdivided into the upstream and downstream groups. All technical working groups held discussions on potential NAMAs in their particular sectors, then ranked NAMA options based on feasibility and costs, etc. as well as advised on other related matters such as impediments to implementation or data gaps. 

Mr. Hans Schultz, Project Manger, introduces the LECB project  to the participants.
