Energy
El área de energía enfrenta el desafío de apoyar a los países de la región en el diseño y propuestas de políticas que permitan configurar una matriz energética con componentes de renovabilidad para el logro de una transición energética justa y sostenible. En los últimos años la CEPAL ha creado, desarrollado y apoyado una iniciativa denominada Observatorio Regional sobre Energías Sostenibles (ROSE) que busca difundir instrumentos para el sector energía: el Programa Base de Indicadores de Eficiencia Energética (BIEE) y Foro Regional de Planificadores Energéticos (FOREPLEM), entre otras iniciativas, todo ello para reunir esfuerzos orientados al cumplimiento de las metas de la Agenda 2030, y con especial atención en el ODS7.
