Since late last year, Chile has had the Sustainable Chilean Public Transport Strategy (CLETS) <\/strong>project, backed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented through CAF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The project aims to promote the incorporation of electromobility in public transport and non-motorized modes (bicycles)<\/strong>, through the implementation of four demonstrative actions in Antofagasta, Concepci\u00f3n, Lebu, and Valdivia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, the project<\/strong> facilitates the development of regulations and plans aimed at mitigating climate change in the urban management of Chilean cities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Related content:<\/strong> Chile: Puerto Varas modernizes its public transport with electric buses<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n This project has a $2.9 million donation from the Global Environment Facility (GEF),<\/strong> executed through a cooperation agreement signed between CAF<\/strong>, the Ministry of the Environment (MMA), and the Agency for International Cooperation and Development (AGCID).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, Chile has taken on a series of international and national commitments related to climate change and sustainable development, including its Nationally Determined Contribution, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Climate Change Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) generated by transportation are particularly significant, representing 25% of the total national emissions, making it the second most important source, behind only the energy industry. Projects supported by CAF are crucial for the sector’s decarbonization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The “Latam Mobility & Conosur 2024” <\/strong>in Santiago, Chile, will bring together major companies and leaders in energy, transportation, fuels, and mobility to showcase industry advancements and perspectives in the country and region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The summit will feature a series of thematic panels and presentations<\/strong> that play a pivotal role in advancing sustainable mobility, decarbonization, circular economy, <\/strong>and renewable energies, along with prominent networking opportunities to form key alliances towards zero emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The event will take place on August 27-28 at the InterContinental Hotel, Santiago<\/strong>.
