Achieving the energy transition in Latin America and the Caribbean is part of the decisions to be made for a low carbon pathway. It requires a strong commitment from multiple sectors, both governments and the private sector must encourage investments in renewable and sustainable energy, taking into account a long-term vision and the commitments of the Paris Agreement. Decarbonizing the energy sector, including clean transportation and energy efficiency, are essential elements of climate change mitigation in LAC.
