Moore Global recently announced the release of their next Moore Intelligence thought-leadership campaign, titled “Resilience is Key in a World of Turmoil”. This Intelligence revealed the “Inconvenient Truth” that targets to decarbonise the global economy were likely to be missed. This month, Moore TT will feature elements of that campaign, with a Caribbean spin.
The new analysis finds a business environment that is becoming more volatile and vulnerable to unforeseen risks, even with the combined might of AI and the brightest human minds. It revealed that the businesses impacted most are often the ambitious mid-market companies that are the engine of the global economy. They find themselves second-guessing regulation and are confused about where to invest to ensure their long-term survival and growth.
Resilience is not about choosing between fossil fuels and renewables. It is about keeping economies powered while the future is still being built. Energy security, industrial competitiveness and affordability still matter deeply, especially for economies like Trinidad & Tobago that depend on gas not only for power generation, but for LNG, petrochemicals and wider export earnings. The Moore Global perspective highlights that the world is not transitioning in a straight line, and businesses need a more pragmatic, diverse energy mix to navigate the turbulence.
Sustainability concerns around supply chains, shipping routes and the flow of energy and raw materials have prompted diverse responses. These include renegotiating contracts and funding or relocating operations in response to international conflicts and trade disputes. This is often done to realise cost savings and operational efficiencies, but the upheaval has also created new partnership opportunities for companies of all sizes in the supply chain. There is more emphasis on ‘nearshoring’ and ‘friendshoring’ of production or distribution facilities closer to more ‘aligned’ nations to minimise risk of business interruption.
In the near future, the Caribbean is likely to move toward a more blended energy reality: gas as a bridge fuel, renewables as a growing necessity, and resilience as the operating principle. For businesses, that means investment decisions must be grounded in scenario planning, regulatory awareness and long-term commercial logic — not ideology.
Moore TT helps businesses across energy, manufacturing and industrial value chains make smarter decisions on growth, risk, investment readiness, governance and sustainability strategy. In a volatile energy market, resilience starts with sound advice. Email us: | Call us: + (868) 226-1215
