LATAM Energy Transition Academy 2024: Training future sustainable leaders is key to sustainable energy development.

The LATAM Energy Transition Academy 2024 opens its virtual doors to train future leaders from Latin America and the Caribbean in the fight for equitable and sustainable energy development.

The Latin America and the Caribbean Energy Transition Academy (ATE LATAM) will conduct its virtual training program from September 26 to November 14, 2024. The Institute of International Studies of the University of Chile (IEI) will award a certificate of participation. This initiative is organized by the NGO Uno.Cinco, the IEI, and The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE). The event will feature prominent figures and authorities from the energy sector in Latin America, as well as representatives of international organizations related to the sector. ATE LATAM invites young professionals from across the region and civil society to be part of this free program, focused on developing technical and theoretical capacities on energy transition. The Academy, aimed at preparing future leaders of Latin America and the Caribbean in sustainable energy and climate action, will offer an intensive program of 8 sessions. Topics to be addressed include: i) energy literacy, ii) just transition, iii) energy efficiency, and iv) the role of critical minerals in the energy transition. Additionally, the courses will be globally accessible thanks to their virtual format and will feature simultaneous translation in Spanish, Portuguese, and English. This project aims to prepare participants for the process of updating the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of the countries in the region, in anticipation of COP30, which will be held in Brazil in 2025.

LATAM Energy Transition Academy 2024: Training future sustainable leaders is key to sustainable energy development.

Newsletter summary

The LATAM Energy Transition Academy 2024 opens its virtual doors to train future leaders from Latin America and the Caribbean in the fight for equitable and sustainable energy development.

Knowledge and Training

We promote advanced technical training programs that facilitate the exchange of experiences, as well as the development of the human and institutional capacities needed to support the energy transformations in our region.

Our academic offering includes executive programs, postgraduate diplomas, master’s degrees, and innovative initiatives focused on topics such as energy transition, conventional energy, renewable energy, e-mobility, and regional integration.

OLACDE creates a regional network focused on energy knowledge that connects governments, young professionals, academics, and sector experts to drive collaborative solutions through technical cooperation and talent development to address future energy and climate challenges.

Technical cooperation and financing

We strengthen South-South and triangular cooperation ties as drivers to accelerate energy transitions in Latin America and the Caribbean. OLACDE brings together efforts among governments, multilateral organizations, academic institutions, and the private sector to mobilize financing, technical capacities, and innovative solutions tailored to our regional reality.

We promote strategic initiatives aimed at directing resources toward projects focused on decarbonization, conventional energy, renewable energy, and energy justice, with the objective of establishing a more efficient, inclusive, and sustainable regional cooperation architecture.

Regional Energy Community

We are building a regional energy community with a global outlook that seeks to position Latin America and the Caribbean as a key player on the international stage. OLACDE strengthens its representation in major multilateral forums related to energy, trade, and climate by fostering strategic alliances and promoting international cooperation.

Through events such as Energy Week, together with new spaces for international dialogue, we promote a collective voice that helps attract financial investment and create new opportunities for sustainable development across our region.

Energy Transition and Strategic Projects

We drive an energy transition based on principles of sustainability, energy security, and social inclusion. OLACDE supports countries in adopting new technologies related to energy efficiency, energy storage, green hydrogen, electromobility, and grid digitalization to accelerate the sector’s decarbonization process.

Our approach also includes promoting strategic projects that strengthen energy resilience at the regional level, contributing to emission reductions while consolidating a cleaner and more competitive energy infrastructure. Initiatives such as OEMLAC position our region as a leading reference in climate innovation and sustainable energy transition.

Energy information and data

We develop regional platforms dedicated to energy information, technical analysis, and strategic data systems that strengthen both public and private decision-making in the sector. OLACDE promotes the digital transformation of the sector through the use of artificial intelligence, georeferencing, and advanced tools for regional energy analysis.

The integration of systems such as SieLAC, together with new regional platforms, allows for the consolidation of reliable and up-to-date technical information, facilitating modern, interoperable, and evidence-based energy planning.

Regional Energy Integration

We promote cooperation in the regional energy sector, focused on collaboration, infrastructure development, and regulatory harmonization, with the objective of strengthening energy security in Latin America and the Caribbean. OLACDE coordinates projects related to electrical interconnection, gas integration, and regional energy planning, seeking to create efficient and sustainable partnerships.

Through cooperation with the governments of our 27 member countries, regional blocs, multilateral institutions, and both public and private stakeholders, we drive strategic initiatives that promote regulatory harmonization and new energy exchange mechanisms, in order to enhance national capacities and accelerate an integrated energy transition at the regional level.
