Traffic Assessment in Trinidad and Tobago
The infographic on "Trinidad's Traffic Study" outlines key challenges and recommendations for addressing traffic congestion in Trinidad. It offers several short- to medium-term solutions aimed at enhancing public transportation, such as making it more attractive and reliable, improving paratransit services for "first and last mile" transportation, and bolstering public safety for both commuters and service providers. Telecommuting is also suggested as a way to reduce the need for physical commuting. For a long-term solution, the study emphasizes the importance of establishing an efficient, multi-modal transportation system, improving school bus services, and decentralizing public services. Enhanced spatial planning and better traffic management for seasonal and annual events are also recommended. Additional details about the study are available via a provided link.

Where are we now: Science, Technology, Innovation and the Caribbean
This infographic from Study 110 explores the role of Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) in driving sustainable development in the Caribbean. While STI is recognized as crucial for progress, the study finds that many Caribbean nations have yet to prioritize it, and existing policies remain underdeveloped. The current driver of change in the region is renewable energy, influenced by factors such as reliance on expensive imported fossil fuels, falling costs of renewable energy technologies, and international commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To foster STI advancement, the study recommends promoting an STI culture, enhancing institutional support, increasing funding, integrating STI into education, and encouraging collaboration between governments, private sectors, and research institutions.

Are there gender inequalities in Education and Employment in the Caribbean?
True or False: Are there gender inequalities in Education in the Caribbean? The infographic titled "Education Inequalities" explores gender disparities in education and employment across the Caribbean. It highlights notable progress in educational access, with both genders benefiting, especially in primary and secondary education. However, the data reveals that girls generally outperform boys academically, particularly in fields like biology, physics, and IT. On the other hand, boys excel in subjects such as mathematics and economics. A significant concern is the drastic drop in male participation at the tertiary education level, with women enrolling at almost twice the rate of men. This discrepancy raises critical questions about persistent gender gaps in employment and wages, despite women's higher educational achievements. The infographic emphasizes the importance of gender equality in achieving sustainable development goals and full human potential in the Caribbean.

Where are we now: Improving Sustainable Development in the Caribbean
This infographic provides an overview of the Caribbean's progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on eight small island developing states (SIDS), including Antigua and Barbuda, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago. It highlights the steps being taken to enhance planning systems for sustainable development through integrated, evidence-based decision-making and coordinated national strategies. Key recommendations for policymakers include strengthening institutional capacity, promoting vertical and horizontal integration, enhancing research and innovation, and fostering regional cooperation. Caribbean countries are actively pursuing these actions, with many having established national frameworks aligned with the 2030 Agenda. Despite the progress, the infographic emphasizes the need for further investment in monitoring and evaluation systems to ensure effective, evidence-based development planning. It concludes by encouraging partnerships and collaboration to accelerate the region's sustainable development efforts. More detailed information can be accessed via a provided link.

Standardized reporting of SDG data
Many countries are in the early stages of conceptualizing a strategy for SDG implementation. Therefore, the importance of national mainstreaming of the SDGs is critical to have national ownership of the 2030 Agenda. As Governments undertake to mainstream the SDGs in their national development plans, it is important to ensure that national, subnational and subregional indicators, as well as data collection and reporting arrangements are designed and implemented in a way that will enable globally comparable and standardized statistics to be compiled by the National Statistical Systems (NSS) of Caribbean countries. For example, the crucial role of national institutional infrastructure to drive the SDGs must be emphasized. In addition, the importance of quality, timely and disaggregated data must be recognized and the capacity needed to collect, analyse and report data and statistics must be put in place.

Energy efficiency in transportation
Most small island developing States (SIDS) are net energy importers and utilize mainly fossil energy sources to drive their economies and meet social needs. Fossil energy is used primarily for power generation and domestic transportation. In light of the global challenges that arise from climate change, many countries have initiated strategies and projects for deploying renewable energy technologies, as well as enhancing energy efficiency (EE). In 2016, the International Monitory Fund (IMF) estimated that transportation accounted for 36 per cent of the total primary energy consumed in the Caribbean subregion. This information highlights the importance of increasing energy efficiency in the transportation sector as one of several strategies to improve sustainability. To date however, efforts to transition to renewable energy (RE) and to enhance EE in domestic transportation systems remain very limited.

De-Risking

A daunting challenge faced by financial institutions in the Caribbean in recent years is the growing trend being adopted by large global banks that serve as correspondent banks to local financial institutions, to severely limit or terminate their correspondent banking relationships (CBRs) with these local or regional banks (respondent banks). This practice is considered a form of “de-risking”, whereby business relationships with clients or categories of clients considered “high-risk” are restricted or terminated. So far, financial institutions in 12 Caribbean countries have had the CBRs of at least one of their local banks terminated or “de-risked”.

Situation of unpaid work and gender in the Caribbean
The unpaid care work performed primarily by women, underpins all societies, contributing to well-being, social development and economic growth. Care work involves a variety of domestic tasks, such as the preparation of food, cleaning, washing and ironing of clothes, the collection of water and fuel for cooking, as well as, the care of mostly dependant family members, including children, older persons and persons with disabilities. The time-use survey is the only available tool for measuring unpaid care work and is also a more cost effective method of collecting timely and accurate data on the gender division of labour within households and the interdependence of the paid and unpaid work undertaken by women and men.
