Si no medimos la justicia ¿cómo sabemos que la transición energética es justa?
Summary
The fact sheet emphasizes that a just energy transition must be measured by transformed lives rather than megawatts. It highlights critical gaps in Latin America, including the persistence of energy poverty, a significant imbalance between fossil fuel and renewable energy employment, and the prevalence of socio-environmental conflicts. The document calls for COP 30 to establish binding citizen participation mechanisms and policies for workforce reconversion to prevent deepening social and territorial inequalities.
Key insights
- Energy access gaps persist in Latin America; in 2022, over 4.7 million people in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico lacked electricity, and 57.8 million people in those same four countries—primarily women and girls—still rely on charcoal or firewood.
- There is a significant labor imbalance in the energy sector within Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, where fossil fuel jobs exceed 780,000 while renewable energy jobs are fewer than 650,000, risking increased social inequality without active reconversion policies.
- The document identifies a need for the COP 30 presidency and states to promote a global roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels and to ensure that citizen participation mechanisms are truly binding and effective.
