Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA)</strong> <strong>Ministerial Meeting</strong> was held in Montego Bay, Jamaica<strong>, February 27 and 28, 2020</strong>. Jamaica’s hosting of the important event was announced at the III ECPA Ministerial held in Viña del Mar, Chile when Jamaica assumed chairmanship of ECPA in September 2017. Jamaica’s acceptance of the Chairmanship of ECPA is in line with its commitment to furthering the hemispheric and regional development agenda. The hosting of the Ministerial Meeting presented a valuable opportunity for Jamaica to highlight the progress made on the national level in its energy security and diversification efforts. It also presented an opportunity to demonstrate Jamaica’s leadership in promoting regional energy cooperation, strategic partnerships and open dialogue on energy related issues. <a href="https://ecpamericas.org/ministerial-meetings/ecpa-2020-ministerial/">Read more</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.mset.gov.jm/">The Ministry of Science, Energy and Technology (MSET)</a>, in collaboration with the <a href="https://www.mfaft.gov.jm/">Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade (MFAFT)</a>, led the effort for the hosting of this High-Level meeting, which saw Energy Ministers from the 29 member countries of ECPA and other regional dignitaries present in Montego Bay for the two-day event.</p> <p>The Ministerial was held in Montego Bay under the theme <strong>“Energy Resilience and Investment Opportunities”</strong>.
