Only through joint efforts can we achieve a more sustainable energy future for our region.&#8221;\n\nThe event made it clear that energy efficiency is not only a tool for saving energy but also a key component in addressing current climate and social challenges. Through regional and international collaboration, Latin America and the Caribbean continue to strengthen their path toward sustainable energy development.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The International Energy Agency (IEA) organized the Energy Efficiency Policy Training Week for Latin America, a key event held in S\u00e3o Paulo that brought together over 2,500 professionals from more than 120 countries, with OLACDE participating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":14220,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[284,290],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.olacde.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18004","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.olacde.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.olacde.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.olacde.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.olacde.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/test.olacde.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18004\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.olacde.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.olacde.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.olacde.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.olacde.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
