The publication 'Legal Framework for the Energy Transition in Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico: Assessment of the Current Situation and Recommendations for a Fairer Future' presents a detailed analysis of energy transition policies across these four Latin American countries, focusing on the extent to which their frameworks align with international human rights standards.

Each country's regulatory landscape is examined for its progress in achieving a just energy transition, taking into account factors like gender equality, Indigenous rights, corporate accountability, and environmental and social impact assessments. While each country demonstrates unique advancements—such as Brazil’s renewable energy focus, Chile’s climate justice principles, Colombia’s energy community initiatives, and Mexico’s energy transition law—challenges remain in addressing socio-economic disparities and ensuring the transition is inclusive.

The publication concludes with specific recommendations for each nation, promoting policies that incorporate a fair and equitable approach to energy transition, highlighting the need for integrated action on social, environmental, and economic fronts to foster long-term sustainability and human rights protection across the region.
