Energy Transition in the Atlantic Basin: Who Wins, Who Loses, Who Pays?

February 27, 2025

As countries transition to renewable energy, Latin America and North Africa are emerging as key players in the global supply chain, reshaping alliances and energy routes. In this episode, we explore opportunities for regional cooperation, such as cross-border energy projects, and discuss the social benefits of ensuring equitable access to renewable energy for populations across the Atlantic, while addressing the impacts on employment and economic resilience in energy sectors.

    The Policy Center for the New South and the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center are pleased to organize a close workshop under theme “Renewables and the Future of Geopolitics” on Monday, March 21, 2022, starting 09:00 am GMT+1.
