Over the past year, Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) workstreams provided support to countries around the world for the development of power sector decarbonization action plans. At CEM14 in Goa, India, the first cohort of countries – Australia, Chile, India, the European Commission, India, and the United Kingdom – released their action plans to accelerate power sector decarbonization and transformation in their countries.

The webinar will focus on sharing Chile’s Action Plan for power sector decarbonization, including the country’s climate targets, the main regulatory changes, and the transformation of the electric matrix for different decarbonization scenarios.

The session will end with a Q&A with the audience. It will also have simultaneous interpretation available for Spanish and English languages.
