Séptimo Diálogo Político Regional en Eficiencia Energética

Briefing note

A transformative recovery in Latin America and the Caribbean with basic drinking water and electricity services as key sectors.

The impact of COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine has increased the vulnerability of people without access to basic water, sanitation and electricity services in the region. Pre-existing inequalities have been exacerbated by post-pandemic job destruction, income reduction and rising energy costs. As part of an inclusive and transformative recovery in the region, these basic sectors must be prioritized.
