UNICA at COP30 – “The role of biofuels as a strategy of energy transition to the global south”

The Global South—spanning South Asia, Africa, and Latin America—faces the greatest climate impacts despite its minimal emissions. Achieving an equitable energy transition requires redistributing resources and technology to unlock these regions’ vast renewable potential.

This panel will explore how biofuels can drive a just and inclusive energy transition across Global South, fostering local value creation, energy security, and sustainable growth. Discussions will highlight opportunities for South–South cooperation, technology transfer, and climate finance to empower developing regions as leaders in the global energy transition.

Speakers: Representatives from South Africa, Colombia, Indonesia and Brazil

Venue: COP30 – Blue Zone – Brazilian Sustainable Transportation Pavilion (PV-B26)
