The Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE) invites you to take part in the 2026 OLACDE Executive Leadership Program: “Latin America and the Caribbean Facing the Challenges of the Future”, organized under the ETRELA Project, funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the Government of Germany, in collaboration with Youth4Energy.
The energy transformation of Latin America and the Caribbean requires a new generation of leaders capable of turning ideas into solutions and driving real change.
