On 30th June 2020 at 10am Costa Rica time (6pm CEST), the World Future Council and La Ruta del Clima launch their latest research on 100% renewable energy for Costa Rica. The webinar “Green Deal: The role of Renewable Energy in Costa Rica” (in Spanish) will be organised together with Paola Vega, Member of the national Legislative Assembly Costa Rica. We invite you to jointly discuss the opportunities to increase ambition on the use of renewable energy and the benefits it can bring to Costa Rica and learnings from the European experience. 

Speakers: 

• Paola Vega, Member of national Legislative Assembly, Costa Rica 
• Anna Cavazzini, Member of European Parliament

In Costa Rica, decarbonization is a common goal and the country has made significant achievements in the generation of electricity from almost 100% renewables sources. However, this is not the case regarding its energy matrix that generates approximately 80% of the total greenhouse gases of the country. This represents a challenge for the decarbonization process but also an opportunity for the development of renewable energy. 

In this event, we will also be presenting the report: Escenario: 100% Renewable Energy for Costa Rica (available in English and Spanish). This in-depth study looks into Costa Rica´s potential for renewable energy development and the benefits it could generate. This report proposes a route for the increase of ambition on the decarbonization process.
