Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it is only it becomes more equitable. Safety, equity and energy poverty in Latin America

Abstract

Energy systems influence the dynamism of the international economy, global geopolitical stability, the environmental future on a planetary scale, and the economic and human development of countries. However, it is also the main source of pollution globally, generating around threequarters of greenhouse gas emissions at present. As a consequence of the war between Ukraine and Russia, there will be an increase in the prices of raw materials that will affect the poorest sectors of the world and in the Latin American region, a condition exacerbated by the 2020 pandemic. At the same time, it opens a complex process of reconfiguring the region's energy scenarios. The aim of this paper is to show the global energy panorama and in the Latin American region, in addition to developing the concept of governance and global governance, as well as the concept of the public perspective to revalue energy activities in this sphere. The following section will focus the discussion on security, equity, and energy poverty, to conclude with final reflections that contribute to the governance of energy systems.
