Women who are trailblazing the inclusive energy transition in Latin America

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.

How can we have a just and inclusive energy transition?

Our two guests today, Eduarda Zoghbi and Joyce Najm Mendez, have worked on multiple projects to achieve an inclusive sustainable transition through gender perspective, the inclusion of indigenous people and local communities in grassroots movements, and the engagement of the younger generation, being themselves both young, inspiring leaders in the region.
