Decarbonization will transform global production and trade patterns so radically that new growth opportunities are bound to arise for Latin America and the Caribbean. The panel will discuss those opportunities considering the Inter-American Development Bank's vision for the energy transition in the region.

Presented in collaboration with the David Rockefeller Center for Latin American Studies, the Harvard University Center for the Environment, and the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability.
