Energy transition and managing climate change are global priorities, but how do we ensure that developed markets meet ambitious green generation and decarbonisation targets whilst supporting developing countries in the same efforts? This session will consider:

• Which technologies, from mainstream renewable generation to newer decarbonisation assets, are most likely to achieve our goals?
• What sources of financing can developers look towards for capital, and what challenges are most likely to inhibit growth?
• What role do ECAs have to play in financing new projects, especially when it comes to emerging technologies?
• How can DFIs contribute to the energy transition in emerging markets, and what role will blended finance have to play? How can we mobilize private capital into climate related projects?

Latin America has rich mineral deposits, specifically to minerals that are critical to the future of the energy transition, namely Lithium and Copper. These minerals and our ability to extract and produce will determine the pace of the energy transition - if we are able to overcome the political, environmental and financial obstacles presented.

• Opportunities for Latin American mining to be a bridge on the path to global energy transition

• What supporting infrastructure and services need to be met to further underpin the success of these mines? - Housing, roads, workshops etc. 

• Meeting the demand - what is the financing path forward for meeting the supply deficit?
