Description

This Element focuses on Latin American fossil fuel producer countries and how they are dealing with the transition towards a greener energy matrix.

The challenges involved are multiple and ethical in substance.

In particular, a worldwide expansion in clean energies would reduce climate change, physical risks.

A rapid transition, however, induces the irruption of a new (financial) risk.

The energy transition, in addition, could be thought of as a new arena for political disputes.

Finally, it evaluates the relevance of monetary policy and financial regulation to tackle the issue from a macro perspective.

Energy transition, however, have also long-term but uncertain consequences on the national economy.

Henceforth, and in order to minimize risks, a long-term, strategic vision of the challenge confronted by the region becomes mandatory.

To tackle all these problems, this Element profits from contributions of different disciplines.
