摘要 本論文探討了將再生能源納入伯利茲能源矩陣的複雜性和前景。它研究了透過廣泛採用再生能源技術向更永續的能源未來過渡的潛力。 為了實現這一目標，對數據的定量和定性來源進行了評估。其中包括主要來自拉丁美洲地區國家的可再生能源主題的研究和研究。採用定量和定性相結合的方法來收集有關伯利茲可再生能源整合的第一手觀點。總共向伯利茲人發放了 120 份問卷，回覆率為 66.67%。 經過數據分析，得出了以下關鍵結果： 伯利茲具有巨大潛力，到 2030 年可再生能源佔比將超過 85%，儘管未來仍面臨挑戰。伯利茲人和政府之間的合作對於教育和推廣再生能源至關重要。克服障礙需要政府、私部門和民間社會之間的合作。再生能源教育、廢棄物管理和基於自然的解決方案的有效政策對於可持續和有彈性的能源未來至關重要。這些舉措將提高子孫後代的生活質量，並推動伯利茲21世紀的永續發展目標
This thesis explores the complexities and prospects of integrating renewable energy sources into the energy matrix of Belize. It investigates the potential for transitioning towards a more sustainable energy future through the widespread adoption of renewable energy technologies. To achieve this, quantitative and qualitative sources of data were evaluated. These include studies and research on the topics of renewable energy mainly from countries within the Latin American region. A combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches was used to gather firsthand perspectives on the integration of renewable energy in Belize. A total of 120 surveys were distributed to Belizeans and a 66.67% response rate was obtained. After data analyses, the following key results were derived: Belize has vast potential to surpass 85% renewable energy by 2030, though challenges lie ahead. Collaborative efforts between Belizeans and the government are crucial to educate and promote renewable energy. Overcoming obstacles demands partnership among government, private sector, and civil society. Effective policies on renewable energy education, waste management, and nature-based solutions are essential for a sustainable and resilient energy future. These initiatives will enhance the quality of life for future generations and advance Belize's sustainable development goals in the 21st century.
