From Impossible to Inevitable: Chile's Path to Net Zero - Livestream

Chile has undergone an energy revolution that has changed the country's climate and energy policy. In 2013 large coal and hydro projects were in line, which were ultimately shelved and replaced with plentiful and economic renewable energy. In 2021, 24% of all energy in the country came from solar and wind energy.  There is a consensus that Chile's net zero target will spur more growth and investment than the status quo. The talk will explore how these changes occurred, and how smart and integral regulations on air pollution, carbon pricing, and social unrest shifted the tide to a country that wants to transform its extractive economy into a renewable economy.

Speaker: Marcelo Mena, Methane Hub
