‘A defining moment’: Trinidad and Tobago at a crossroads as oil runs out
Trinidad and Tobago is facing a pivotal moment as its oil reserves dwindle, prompting a debate on whether to continue drilling or transition to a greener economy. Historically, the nation thrived on fossil fuels, contributing significantly to the British Empire's oil production. However, with the increasing urgency of the climate crisis, the country must weigh the economic benefits of oil against the environmental impact. This decision is crucial not only for the future of Trinidad and Tobago but also for the Caribbean region as it grapples with climate change.
