Challenges ahead for just transition in the face of energy system transformations in Latin America

When we read reports about the advancement of renewable energies across the world and in Latin America, some questions remain open in relation to climate justice, especially when we talk about themes related to the world of work and the rights of the communities. In this debate, we will look to bring contributions of ongoing research and initiatives in Latin American countries such as Brazil, Honduras and Chile, that seek to identify the obstacles to a just transition from the perspective of the unions, environmental organisations and social movements.
