At the Bogotá meeting, participants will take a closer look at issues of regional industrialisation, public-public partnerships, “critical minerals” policy, democratic
governance of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), and the role of the labour movement in pushing for a Public Pathway to a just energy transition in Latin America and the Caribbean region.
The policy meeting will explore the financial, technical and political aspects of these issues. Key actors in the LAC region will:
Prepare for the Buenos Aires meeting (November 2024) and ensure the Latin American contingent can help deepen the discussion on the Public Pathway
Develop a collective analysis by trade unions and allied researchers on the lessons of the four general periods between the 1960s and 2020s on regional development and energy policies
Analyse the current moment and identify opportunities for pushing forward the Public Pathway in Latin America
Map, in concrete terms, the future energy plans and strategies of the different countries represented in the meeting in order to provide a good basis for strategic regional discussions in Buenos Aires.
Introduce the idea of a regional research collective for the Public Pathway in Latin America to encourage the regular exchange of research findings and develop complementary analysis
Introduce and exchange research methodology and tools on global energy trends (one session will be a research workshop)
Address the limits of the TUED South Framework Document, as they pertain to Latin America and the Caribbean region. See: Part Two, starting with From Here to There: Public Pathway as a Theory of Transition (pages 107 to 116)
Incorporate data and perspectives on Latin America and the Caribbean and begin to develop “TUED South Latin America & Caribbean Position Paper” for the Buenos Aires meeting
