Session 4: Energy Transformations / Transformaciones Energeticas

Cuba and Puerto Rico have historically been highly dependent on importing fossil fuels for their energy needs. In recent years there has been an increase in awareness and conviction to develop more energy sovereignty based on clean, renewable sources. In this session we will hear from civil society voices about how communities are innovating decentralized, clean energy systems and the role of local and national governments. 

Históricamente, Cuba y Puerto Rico han dependido de la importación de combustibles fósiles para sus necesidades energéticas.  En años recientes ha habido una mayor conciencia en desarrollar soluciones con fuentes renovables. En esta sesión escucharemos de voces de la sociedad civil sobre como las comunidades están innovando en sistemas limpios y descentralizados, y el rol que tiene el sector gubernamental.
