A crucial meeting of the G20 Energy Transitions Working Group recently highlighted the importance of international cooperation in driving environmental sustainability and energy independence around the world. Under the leadership of OLADE’s Chief of Staff, Guido Maiulini, representatives from G20 member countries met to address the challenges and opportunities in the transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.
The meeting focused on several crucial aspects to advance in this transition. Emphasis was placed on the need to improve access to financing for energy transitions, especially in emerging economies, as well as the importance of energy planning and the design of policies and tools that facilitate financing for clean energy. In addition, the social dimension of these transitions was addressed, recognizing the challenges that must be faced to ensure that they are carried out in a fair, inclusive and balanced manner for all communities.
The Working Group, coordinated by Brazil’s Ministry of Mines and Energy in collaboration with that country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, aims to promote coordinated political action among G20 countries. It seeks to share information and experiences, as well as identify concrete measures to accelerate and maximize the benefits of global energy transitions.
This meeting underlines the importance of international collaboration and policy coordination in the fight against climate change and the promotion of a more sustainable and resilient energy future for all.
