The University of Trinidad and Tobago proudly extends congratulations to Dr. Donnie Boodlal- a member of our academic staff at UTT Point Lisas...the Energy Campus.

Dr. Boodlal is one of twenty individuals who have been selected from hundreds of international applicants to attend a facilitators training course from two well-known and respected international bodies- Mitigation Action Plans and Scenarios (MAPS) and Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS). Dr. Boodlal recently graduated with a PhD in Process and Utilities Engineering from UTT. He has done extensive work on “Cost-Effective Strategies for Greenhouse Gas Mitigation in Trinidad and Tobago” and is recognised both nationally and internationally for his work.

This intensive five-day workshop is aimed at equipping mid-career practitioners to facilitate complex climate change scenario building processes. The course aims to enable professionals to institute, design and manage such processes at all levels: national and subnational, academic and/ or at the enterprise level. Candidates were carefully chosen on the basis of their respective contributions within the areas of greenhouse gas mitigation and climate change reduction.

The training takes place at Santiago, Chile from January 21^st to January 25^th, 2013. Full funding has been provided for Dr. Boodlal by MAPS/LEDS.
