NO This report reveals that an expansion of renewable energy in the power sector in Latin America and the Caribbean instead of continuing a fossil fuel path, including natural gas, would be by far the best choice. The region would perceive further benefits in terms of costs, jobs, and greenhouse gas emission reductions, and therefore to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
