Energy narratives in Latin America and the Caribbean are changing significantly, integrating perspectives of social, environmental, and territorial justice. The region seeks to build narratives that not only inform the energy transition, but also empower local communities, recognizing their central role in the process.
Citizen perception is crucial in the energy transition since the acceptance of new technologies and the implementation of sustainable policies depend to a large extent on citizens understanding, valuing and actively participating in these changes. Media coverage, on the other hand, plays a crucial role in shaping public opinion and promoting informed debate, but it faces the challenge of misinformation, which can hinder the energy transition in the region.
Taken together, these perspectives underscore the need for energy communication that is inclusive, transparent, and justice-centered, to ensure an equitable and sustainable transition in the region. How can we improve communication on energy issues to close information gaps and increase public trust in Latin America, thus facilitating the acceptance of key projects?
