The Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE) took part in the International Summit on Sustainability and Environmental Innovation held in Bogotá, represented by Mauricio Medinaceli, OLADE consultant, who participated in the panel “Transitioning to the Future: Energy for Decarbonization in Latin America” alongside authorities and key stakeholders from the regional energy sector.
In his remarks, OLADE highlighted that the region’s energy transition should not be understood solely as a response to climate change, but also as an indispensable economic and geopolitical strategy. To move forward successfully, three simultaneous transitions must be addressed:
Labor, to relocate workers from fossil fuel industries.
Fiscal, to replace public revenues and royalties from oil and gas.
Trade, to ensure Latin American exports do not face new environmental barriers in international markets.
Through its participation in this forum, OLADE reaffirms its commitment to providing technical knowledge and fostering dialogue that strengthens the energy transition in Latin America and the Caribbean, ensuring it is just, inclusive, and sustainable.
