Common Objective

Accelerate the carbon-neutrality of the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region's electricity systems, improving the resilience, competitiveness and sustainability of the sector, generating green jobs, improving air quality and the health effects of its citizens.

Specific Goal

To achieve a regional target of at least

70%

of renewable energy penetration

in Latin America and the Caribbean by 2030
