Latin America
Countries in Latin America, a region rich in minerals and hydrocarbons, must improve governance to achieve a just energy transition.
Latin America is a dynamic and evolving region that presents both challenges and opportunities for NRGI’s programmatic work on key issues such as energy transition, resource governance, transparency and tax collection.
NRGI’s priority countries in the region are Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru due to their strategic importance and abundance of oil, gas and minerals—some of which, such as copper and lithium, are important for the energy transition.
In this context, NRGI and its regional partners generate research-based evidence to support the capacity building of state officials and civil society actors in strengthening resource governance and facilitating energy transition processes. NRGI also develops proposals to improve tax collection, address implementation gaps and advocate for fairer deals for resource extraction.
