This document summarizes key debates, conclusions and recommendations from the report “Scientific Cooperation between Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean: towards a just and environmentally sustainable energy transition.” Both reports are based on the Virtual Thematic Event “The social impact of the energy transition” (17–18 October 2024) and the Virtual Thematic Event “Towards environmental sustainability in the energy transition” (8–9 October 2025) within the ENERGYTRAN project.
The events brought together experts from Latin America, the Caribbean and the EU—including researchers, policymakers, civil society and the private sector—to exchange knowledge and good practices on environmental, sociocultural and political dimensions of the energy transition. Discussions emphasised the need for a just, inclusive and environmentally sustainable transition, including citizen participation, the role of public institutions and adequate regulatory frameworks.
