Santa Marta, April 27 \u2014<\/em> How to finance the energy transition in economies still dependent on oil and gas was the focus of a high-level panel this Monday (27th), bringing together representatives from subnational and national governments during the conference on transitioning beyond fossil fuels. The discussion stemmed from a common diagnosis: although technological solutions already exist, financing the transition remains one of the main bottlenecks, especially at the local level. <\/p>\n\n

The panel sought to address how regional governments can replace fossil revenues, manage fiscal constraints and, at the same time, advance climate targets. Central themes included the difficulty of accessing capital at viable costs, the absence of financial instruments tailored to the subnational level, and the misalignment between global investment flows and transition needs in developing countries. <\/p>\n\n

Throughout the session, participants presented concrete experiences and differing priorities, ranging from economic diversification in oil-dependent regions to innovation and competitiveness strategies in more advanced economies. There was also criticism of the current climate finance model and a defence of compensation for countries that preserve strategic environmental assets. <\/p>\n\n

The debate over transition financing already points to a deeper dispute: who will capture the industrial gains of the post-fossil economy.<\/p>\n\n

Esp\u00edrito Santo, Brazil<\/strong>The Brazilian state highlighted the use of oil revenues to finance economic diversification and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n

“We started with US$100 million in public resources. We know that public funding is not enough. The challenge is to use these funds to attract private capital and enable the diversification of the economy,” said Gabriela Vichi, executive director of the Development Bank of Esp\u00edrito Santo (BANDES).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Niger Delta, Nigeria<\/strong>The delegation highlighted the challenge of aligning the energy transition with job creation, especially for the youth population.<\/p>\n\n

“Our focus is to bring the transition to the territories and communities \u2014 because that is where the jobs and the future of this agenda lie,” stated the representative of the Ministry of Regional Development of Nigeria, on behalf of Minister Abubakar Momoh.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

California, United States<\/strong>The Californian representative emphasised the role of stable public policies in attracting investment and maintaining competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n

“We have a plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045. The transition is already underway \u2014 what we need are stable policies that give market predictability and allow investments to scale,” said Sara Ittelson from the California Environmental Protection Agency.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Quebec, Canada<\/strong>The province’s climate envoy highlighted the political decision to abandon fossil exploration and criticised the lack of global funding.<\/p>\n\n

“We are facing a common enemy, but we have not yet managed to mobilise the necessary financing. Meanwhile, there is abundant money for other priorities, such as war, but we cannot find money to tackle our greatest common challenge, which is the climate,” stated Jean Lemire, Quebec\u2019s climate envoy.<\/p>\n\n

Azuay, Ecuador<\/strong>The Ecuadorian representative argued that countries with large natural assets should be compensated for their role in stabilising the global climate. “It is not just about financing \u2014 it is about compensating those who protect,” said Juan Crist\u00f3bal Lloret, prefect of the province of Azuay.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
