Foreign Policy

Trinidad and Tobago's foreign policy balances its role as a Caribbean energy producer with regional solidarity on climate issues. It is a leading member of CARICOM and hosts key regional institutions. The country maintains strong ties with the US, UK, India, and Venezuela.

Trinidad and Tobago has faced challenges related to Venezuelan migration, ISIS recruitment among its citizens, and the tension between energy sector revenues and climate commitments. It advocates for an inclusive energy transition that does not penalise developing-country producers.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Trinidad and Tobago, you are the Caribbean's energy heavyweight and a natural leader within CARICOM. Your oil and gas economy gives you a different perspective from tourism-dependent Caribbean states -- use this to add nuance to regional positions on energy and climate.

Advocate for a 'just transition' that recognises the needs of developing-country energy producers. Build coalitions with other fossil-fuel-producing developing states (OPEC members, small African producers) on energy transition fairness.

Your multicultural society connects you to Africa, India, and Europe -- leverage these cultural ties to build diverse coalitions. Host of the Caribbean Court of Justice gives you credibility on rule of law and international justice.
