Latin America and the Caribbean, despite having one of the cleanest energy matrices in the world, still face significant challenges in ensuring equitable access to modern energy services. This session will address how energy poverty limits development and inclusion and explore the potential of renewable, decentralized, and locally tailored solutions.
Governments, the private sector, and communities will share experiences and discuss public policies, financing models, and measurement tools that will enable progress toward universal access. Success stories will be presented that demonstrate how energy can transform lives and strengthen community resilience. The discussion will highlight energy as a driver of equity, health, and sustainable development.
