DATOS PARA EXIGIR UNA HOJA DE RUTA DE SALIDA ORDENADA Y JUSTA DE COMBUSTIBLES FÓSILES EN 2026

This fact sheet presents data to justify a transition away from fossil fuels in Latin America and the Caribbean, emphasizing the risk of stranded assets and the region's high vulnerability to climate impacts. It highlights a contradiction where the region possesses the world's cleanest electricity grid yet continues to increase fossil fuel production and consumption. The document calls for the elimination of fossil fuel subsidies—which totaled USD 52.8 billion in 2024—and the implementation of a 'Just Transition Mechanism' following COP30 to support labor reconversion and community sovereignty.

• Latin America and the Caribbean face extreme climate vulnerability, including prolonged droughts in the Amazon and Pantanal, forest fires, floods in the Southern Cone, and atypical hurricanes.
• The region is economically exposed to the risk of stranded assets; the IEA warns that in a net-zero emissions scenario by 2050, oil prices could drop to between $25-33 USD per barrel.
• Despite having the cleanest electricity matrix globally, fossil fuel production and consumption are rising in the region. Brazil's fossil production reached a historical record of 8,575 PJ in 2023, a 54% increase since 2012, despite 85% of its electricity matrix being renewable.
• Fossil fuel subsidies remain prevalent across analyzed countries, totaling USD 52.8 billion in 2024. Colombia's subsidies increased by 32% between 2023 and 2024, reaching USD 10.7 billion.
• There is a gap in labor transition planning, with 780,000 jobs in the fossil sector compared to 650,000 jobs in renewables across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia.
