Caricom’s Regional Kilo Walk makes 2025 comeback on Nov 29

The Regional Kilo Walk returns on November 29 beginning at 05:30h, as part of the annual observance of Caricom Energy Month (CEM). The event is being hosted after a pause since 2023 and aims to reignite public engagement in the region’s transition to sustainable energy and healthier living. The awareness walk will commence at the Caricom Secretariat in Greater Turkeyen. Participants will follow a designated route along the Railway Embankment to the Sheriff Street roundabout, then continue along the embankment before returning to the Secretariat for the conclusion of the activity. To ensure an on-time start, assembly is scheduled for 05:15h. The walk is open to the public and brings together stakeholders from diverse sectors, including Government officials, the diplomatic corps, representatives of Government agencies, public and private organisations, educational institutions, youth groups, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and individuals interested in renewable energy, energy efficiency, or fitness.

Previously held in Guyana in 2017, 2022, and 2023, the Regional Kilo Walk returns in 2025 to offer participants a fun, community-focused activity that highlights the Caribbean’s movement toward sustainable energy. It also promotes physical wellness and encourages energy-conscious behaviours. The event aims to inspire individuals and organisations to adopt energy-efficiency, conservation and renewable-energy practices in their daily lives. Organised by 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 walk forms part of the annual observance of Caricom Energy Month—celebrated every November across Member States and regional institutions. This year’s theme is “Invest, Innovate, Sustain: Leading the Charge in Renewable Energy Frontiers.”
