The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) will hold its 2025 Regional Kilo Walk on Saturday to promote sustainable energy, healthy lifestyles, and energy-conscious behaviours across the region.
The awareness walk starts at 5:30 am at the CARICOM Secretariat in Greater Turkeyen, with assembly scheduled for 5:15 am.
Participants will follow a route along the Railway Embankment to the Sheriff Street roundabout, continue along the embankment, and return to the secretariat to conclude the walk, a release said.
The event is open to the public and will bring together government officials, members of the diplomatic corps, representatives of government agencies, public and private organisations, educational institutions, youth groups, NGOs, and individuals interested in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and fitness.
Previously held in Guyana in 2017, 2022, and 2023, the Regional Kilo Walk returns in 2025 offering participants a fun, community-oriented activity that highlights the region’s transition to sustainable energy, promotes healthy lifestyles through physical activity, and encourages energy-conscious behaviours. The event aims to inspire participants and organisations to adopt energy efficiency, conservation, and renewable energy practices in their daily lives, the release noted.
Organised by the CARICOM Secretariat in collaboration with the Caribbean Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (CCREEE) and the Guyana Energy Agency (GEA), with support from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, the Regional Kilo Walk is part of the annual observance of CARICOM Energy Month. This year’s theme is “Invest, Innovate, Sustain: Leading the Charge in Renewable Energy Frontiers.”
CEM highlights the shared responsibility of regional leaders and citizens in transforming the Caribbean Community’s energy systems and advancing a sustainable, climate-resilient, and low-carbon future. Throughout November 2025, activities will engage stakeholders at regional and national levels on the sustainable energy transition.
