The Center for China and Asia-Pacific Studies at the Universidad del Pacífico, in collaboration with the Boston University Global Development Policy Center, announced the publication of the series “Latin America, China, and a Just Energy Transition,” consisting of twelve working papers that examine China’s role in the region’s energy transformation.
The series brings together research conducted by specialists from Latin America, North America, and Asia, with the aim of analyzing the opportunities and challenges arising from China’s growing participation in key sectors linked to the energy transition, including renewable energy, critical minerals, financing, and infrastructure. The studies combine national and comparative analyses, as well as interdisciplinary approaches based on original data and empirical evidence.
Among the topics addressed are Chinese investment in renewable energy, socio-environmental governance, regional integration of value chains, financing for the energy transition, and case studies in countries such as Argentina, Chile, Colombia, and Peru. The series also examines the role of Chinese financial institutions and the implications of China’s own energy transition for Latin America.
The project aims to contribute to public policy debates and to foster dialogue among governments, academia, and civil society, providing evidence to advance toward more inclusive and sustainable development pathways within the framework of the global energy transition.
The working papers are available for consultation on the website of the Center for China and Asia-Pacific Studies.
