The Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce is proud to be an institutional partner of the event “Financing the Energy Transition in Latin America,” an event organized by DLA Piper.

Join us for an ambitious program focused on the Latin American region, where we will explore current trends and trajectories for energy transition, sustainability, and climate policies, as well as the dynamic interplay of investor priorities with both governmental and non-governmental agendas shaping ESG adoption and the broader climate transition.

DLA Piper Partner and Head of Energy & Natural Resources (ENR) Robert da Silva Ashley will lead a conversation on the current state of private and public capital deployment to finance the energy transition and broader climate initiatives. Speakers will discuss both the reach and limits of private and public capital and examine innovative structural and institutional approaches to bridging that gap — including large-scale nature finance initiatives such as forest protection and restoration. They will also highlight key developments in market and geopolitical dynamics affecting trendlines in the energy transition and achieving climate goals, and how the many challenges also present unique opportunities in the private market.

DLA Piper Partner and Global Co-Chair of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Kristy Balsanek will moderate a panel applying both ESG and geopolitical lenses to an exploration of the proverbial road to COP30. The discussion will cover the impact of ESG factors on business practices and investment decisions across Latin America, and their interplay with the global climate agenda.

Finally, P. Michael McKinley, former U.S. Ambassador to Brazil, will share diplomatic perspectives on climate cooperation in the Latin American region, including the region’s influence in shaping climate ambition and negotiating priorities, scaling nature-based solutions, and Brazil’s role as both COP30 host and the region’s largest market.
