Gastón Siroit, technical advisor of the Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE), took part in the Paris Peace Forum 2025, in the roundtable “10 Years After the Adoption of the Paris Agreement: Accelerating Action,” held at the Musée de la Marine in Paris.
The event brought together global energy sector leaders, multilateral organizations, and government representatives to discuss progress and challenges in implementing climate policies.
The session focused on reducing methane emissions in the energy sector, highlighting their potential as one of the most effective actions for limiting global warming this decade.
During his remarks, Siroit presented progress on the Latin America and Caribbean Methane Observatory, an initiative led by OLACDE to improve the measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) of emissions and to promote regional transparency in meeting climate commitments.
He also outlined progress on the certification of low-emission natural gas, underscoring the importance of regional cooperation in establishing common methane intensity standards to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of the Latin American energy sector.
“Reducing methane emissions is one of the most cost-effective opportunities to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. The region has both the potential and the responsibility to lead with concrete solutions and technical cooperation,” said Siroit.
