Regarding the agreement, Garibaldi stated: “As complementary institutions, OLADE and Arpel can foster the essential multisectoral dialogue needed to achieve successful, just, plural, and inclusive energy transitions in Latin America and the Caribbean. This role includes actions of technical and institutional cooperation, including joint efforts related to sustainable energy development and its integration in the region, considering all actors involved in the activities and processes that make up the energy chain. It is an honor for Arpel to have the opportunity to work hand in hand with OLADE.”
