Energy ministers across the region agreed that the current crisis will be more effectively addressed through collective action rather than isolated national measures.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"736\" data-end=\"772\"><strong data-start=\"736\" data-end=\"772\">A Highly Fragile Global Scenario<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"774\" data-end=\"1100\">The urgency is underscored by the global outlook presented by Keisuke Sadamori, Director of Energy Markets and Security at the International Energy Agency (IEA). According to Sadamori, the conflict has caused significant damage to more than 80 strategic facilities, including refineries and liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1102\" data-end=\"1458\">\u201cCumulative oil supply losses exceeded 300 million barrels in March and could reach 400 million in April,\u201d the IEA official warned, noting that volatility has driven up prices in key distribution hubs. This global shortfall is exerting direct pressure on Latin American and Caribbean economies, which are already facing diesel price increases of up to 64%.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1460\" data-end=\"1501\"><strong data-start=\"1460\" data-end=\"1501\">Beyond Isolated Efforts in the Region<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1644\">In light of this assessment, regional representatives agreed that a coordinated response should be structured around three strategic pillars:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1646\" data-end=\"1781\"><strong data-start=\"1646\" data-end=\"1685\">Unity in the face of the emergency:<\/strong> A commitment to work jointly and in a coordinated manner to deepen regional energy integration.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1783\" data-end=\"1902\"><strong data-start=\"1783\" data-end=\"1808\">A structured roadmap:<\/strong> Regional energy planning capable of enabling and facilitating timely responses to the crisis.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1904\" data-end=\"2077\"><strong data-start=\"1904\" data-end=\"1926\">Energy transition:<\/strong> Ministers emphasized that the transition is not only an environmental objective but also a tool of sovereignty to reduce dependence on imported fuels.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2079\" data-end=\"2118\"><strong data-start=\"2079\" data-end=\"2118\">Resilience and Renewable Leadership<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2120\" data-end=\"2360\">With a world-leading 70% share of electricity generation from renewable sources, Latin America and the Caribbean are well positioned to advance joint planning and accelerate the energy transition to reduce dependence on costly fuel imports.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2362\" data-end=\"2691\">Andr\u00e9s Rebolledo, Executive Secretary of OLACDE, stated that \u201csince the onset of the armed conflict, oil prices have increased by nearly 50%, with gasoline and diesel prices rising on average by 15% and 21%, respectively, generating strong inflationary pressures and increased fiscal spending in response to this economic shock.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2693\" data-end=\"3008\">Rebolledo also noted that \u201cthere is a clear willingness to work in a coordinated and collaborative manner and to move forward as a region in addressing one of the most significant energy crises in recent times,\u201d emphasizing that the current situation requires accelerating integration to strengthen energy security.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3010\" data-end=\"3229\">Latin America and the Caribbean must evolve from reactive responses toward a more robust and sustainable energy architecture, consolidating itself as a strategic bloc amid ongoing global geopolitical energy uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information, please contact:<\/strong><br \/>\nDiana Soriano, Head of Communications<br \/>\ndiana.soriano@olacde.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Ministerial Dialogue was held today, convened by the Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE), to advance collective responses to the impacts of the global energy crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":33261,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[252,26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33260","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.0 (Yoast SEO v23.1) -
