Energytran explores scientific cooperation between Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean: key to a fair and sustainable energy transition

On June 26 and 27, 2024, the first virtual event of the Energytran scientific cooperation project took place, an initiative coordinated by the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture (OEI) in collaboration with the European Commission through funding from the Horizon Europe program and involving 11 European and Latin American institutions. The meeting is the first in a series of discussion and debate activities that will take place until the end of 2025 around the need to move towards transformations in the energy systems of our region.

Are Latin America and the EU cooperating in the green transition?

We end the conversation with Emilio Santiago Muiño, PhD in Anthropology and Senior Scientist at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), who a few weeks ago participated in a meeting organized by the OEI on the green transition. We asked Emilio how Latin America and the EU are cooperating to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement.

The energy transition, also essential for the economy

A few weeks ago, the OEI organized a meeting on the green transition, in which Emilio Santiago Muiño, PhD in Anthropology and Senior Scientist at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), participated. At Espacio Iberoamericano we spoke with him so he could explain the challenges that Ibero-America faces in this transition.
