About the webinar
Energy subsidies have been criticized because of their economic inefficiency and because they encourage energy waste and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In contrast, environmental taxes are advocated as efficient policy instruments. However, eliminating subsidies and raising energy prices can be politically difficult because vulnerable households depend on low energy prices.
This webinar will present the lessons learned internationally by the Global Subsidies Initiative (GSI) and the results of the IDB's quantitative analysis, seeking to answer the question: How can governments eliminate energy subsidies in a socially acceptable way?
Among the lessons learned gathered by the GSI are five best practices for reforming energy prices: reflect the right price, analyze the impacts of price increases, manage these impacts by implementing mitigation and compensation measures, build support for reform through appropriate communication and monitoring campaigns, and adjust measures based on results.
How affordable would it be to compensate poor and vulnerable households for an increase in energy prices? The IDB study shows that every $1 transferred to households in the poorest quintile using energy subsidies costs Latin American and Caribbean governments $12. Expanding existing cash transfers in countries could be up to six times cheaper.
The webinar will be conducted in Spanish. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the LEDS LAC Platform Secretariat: [email protected].

Ha trabajado en proyectos en Indonesia, China e India. Antes de llegar al GSI, Lourdes trabajó en una empresa pública de electricidad desarrollando medidas de apoyo a las energías renovables y la eficiencia energética a través de precios e incentivos. También tiene experiencia en consultoría internacional, trabajando para la definición de mecanismos de apoyo para la energía renovable.[/fusion_content_box][fusion_content_box title=»Adrien Vogt-Schilb» icon=»» backgroundcolor=»» iconcolor=»» circlecolor=»» circlebordercolor=»» circlebordersize=»» outercirclebordercolor=»» outercirclebordersize=»» iconrotate=»» iconspin=»no» image=»https://ledslac.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/id_.jpg» image_width=»130″ image_height=»130″ link=»» linktext=»» link_target=»_self» animation_type=»» animation_direction=»» animation_speed=»»]Adrien trabaja en el BID en Washington, donde investiga el diseño de políticas de reducción de emisiones efectivas y políticamente aceptables: cómo alinear la implementación de NDC con los objetivos de desarrollo local y el imperativo de la descarbonización a largo plazo mientras se navega por la economía política.
