This report summarizes the examples presented throughout the webinar series, “Long-Term Energy Scenarios for Developing National Clean Energy Transition Plans in Latin America and the Caribbean”. It covers the key findings and recommendations in the following 14 countries - Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Uruguay. Good practices are categorized under three main pillars: strengthening scenario development; improving scenario use; and identifying capacity-building approaches.

Key findings:
o The LAC region is developing energy scenarios with a broader scope that goes beyond techno-economic criteria.
o A number of LAC governments are developing increasingly integrated and long-term energy scenarios linked to their climate goals.
o There is growing emphasis on participatory scenario development as part of energy planning processes in the LAC region.
o The long-term scenarios analysed by LAC countries are increasingly based on larger shares of renewables in their energy mixes and on more efficient energy consumption.
o Transparent energy data and statistics are crucial to the development of more reliable scenarios.
o The support provided through international co-operation has been crucial in enabling many LAC countries to develop energy scenarios for medium- and long-term energy planning.
