Costa Rica staff With a view to supporting the efforts of the countries of Latin America in undertaking the transformation of their energy sector, the International Renewable Energy Agency, known as IRENA and the Ministry of Environment and Energy will co-organize a regional workshop to exchange lessons learned and best practices in the development and implementation of decarbonization strategies driven by renewable energy, energy efficiency and electrification. The two-day meeting, which ends today is being held at the National Convention Center* in the province of Heredia. According to IRENA, the Energy Strategy 2030 for the Countries of the Central American Integration System (SICA) presents a series of regional actions to guide the sustainable development of the countries in the region. "Representatives of international organizations and countries such as Belize, El Salvador, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Panama, Colombia, Paraguay, Dominican Republic, Honduras and Chile participate," said the ministry in its statement. "Costa Rica has developed a National Decarbonization Plan 2018-2050 that stipulates strategic actions to enhance the decarbonization of the county economy towards advancing bio-economy, green growth, inclusion and the improvement of the quality of life of citizens," said the organization in its statement. The meeting goal is to identify challenges and potential solutions arising from the energy transformation and the implementation of low-carbon technologies for productive uses. For the transition to renewable sources and technologies to succeed, policies must be based on a more integrated assessment of the interactions between the evolving energy sector and the wider economy, towards a broader socio-economic system, said IRENA. IRENA has its headquarters in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
