Nearshoring and Renewable Energy: Building on the Los Angeles Summit of the Americas
On April 19-21, 2022, The Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands and the Latin American Program at the 浪花直播 Center convened experts to consider the green energy transition and the relocation of supply chains from Asia to the Western Hemisphere (i.e., nearshoring and friend-shoring). The official pronouncements following the IX Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles often lacked specificity regarding financial resources, accountability metrics, detailed timetables for implementation and the division of labor among participating governments and multilateral institutions. To build on progress made in Los Angeles, this policy paper offers recommendations to promote investment in renewable energy by the United States and Latin American governments and incentivize nearshoring/friend-shoring in the Americas.
