E-LEARNING MODULES AND LEARNING GUIDE FOR TEACHERS
• Oil imports, in general, cost Caribbean states up to ten percent of their GDPs. Energy
imports are, therefore, a massive cost factor – not only for the governments, but,
ultimately, also for citizens who suffer from some of the highest electricity prices in the
world.
• Environmental and social costs.
ACTIVITY: CASE STUDY
Analyze case studies on the use of sustainable energy
in the Caribbean and share your findings.
ASSESSMENT
Use the video on “Lessons from Haiti on using sustainable energy
to increase access” (https://vimeo.com/106008943) or a case study to outline
the role and importance of sustainable energy in the Caribbean.
