Upcoming Events

Conference on Energy Efficiency and Competitiveness,
 September 15th and 16th in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The Inter-American Development Bank is committed to playing a leading role in assisting the region to deal with the urgent challenges associated with climate change. The surge in world energy prices and a growing international focus on climate change is sparking interest in energy economics and policies. Energy efficiency is increasingly regarded by countries and companies as a strategy to maintain and increase economic competitiveness. To successfully implement energy efficiency programs for economic growth and prosperity the adoption of innovative technologies and policies is key.

To address these issues, the IADB together with the Governments of Germany and Switzerland will hold a conference on Energy Efficiency and Competitiveness, on September 15th and 16th in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This conference aims to raise awareness, enrich knowledge, and foster concrete programs and projects in energy efficiency in Latin America. The conference will bring together the private- and public sector, regulators, policymakers and key stakeholders from Europe and Latin America in order to facilitate transfer of best practices and lessons learned, and stimulate investments in energy efficiency. This conference will focus on all Latin American countries because of the important role of energy efficiency in increasing economic competitiveness and contributing to climate change adaptation for the entire region.
