ARPEL Side Event at 26th World Energy Congress : Just Energy Transitions in Latin America and the Caribbean

The concept of “just” energy transition is understood and defended or proclaimed in different ways by different sectors of society, and by different regions of the world. Part of the concept of justice is also that of equity and reduction of structural and energy poverty. How are the dilemmas faced by the poorest countries or those most dependent on hydrocarbon production resolved? In this session we will listen to the perspective of the energy sector in Latin America and the Caribbean, with the aim of enriching the dialogue and detecting synergies and global opportunities for cooperation, which leverage the decarbonization of the region without violating its right to sustainable development, protecting and respecting it.
