Maintaining this level of renewable energy in the future might prove a challenging task, as ‘historical’ energy sources (hydropower, biomass) run into sustainability issues and ‘new’ options (wind, solar, geothermal) still depend on public support. However, South America’s small fossil endowment and excellent renewable potential make it the ideal candidate for pioneering a renewable energy transition. The energy sector’s contribution in fueling economic growth in a socially and environmentally sustainable way is also an issue that is particularly significant in the developing context of the continent. Climate change is also a region-scale concern: while the continent’s emissions per capita are above the global average, the region is likely to be one of the most impacted by climate change.

  • Privatization of Energy in the Argentine Republic
    Privatization of energy in the Argentine Republic Losses and gains as seen by a trade union Research and report by Asociacíon del Personal Jerárquico del Agua y la Energía (APJAE) Buenos Aires, Argentina Foreword A reliable and affordable supply of public services plays a vital role in the life and development of societies. Today, public services, including the energy sector, are being privatized globally under the pressure of growing public financial constraints and on the basis that a reduced role for the State and increased reliance on market forces will result in improved efficiency and service delivery. There are many cases of public service reforms whose outcomes indicate the contrary, however. A lesson from these experiences is that reforms can bring out intended outcomes only if they are planned and implemented with the involvement of all stakeholders from the outset. The ILO believes that public service reforms at all levels have to aim at: providing access for all to safe, reliable and affordable services to meet their basic human needs; facilitating sustainable local economic and social development that can achieve the goals of full employment and the alleviation of poverty; providing a safe and healthy environment; improving and enhancing democracy, and securing human rights. Public service reform must, therefore, be guided by the following basic principles: accountability, transparency and openness in government policies and actions; the provision of new and better public services; the importance of maintaining and creating good working conditions, and the adherence to core labour standards during the reform process to maintain the morale and improve the performance of public service workers.
