Right after “Exploring Urban Transformation Capacities in Brazil” Margit Noll, CEO of DUT and myself had the pleasure to continue our journey through Latin America with a stop to Montevideo, Uruguay. What a fantastic and inspiring place with a high quality of life this city is. Side fact: Did you for example know that Uruguay runs on 98% of renewable energy?

We spent some packed days assessing opportunities for cooperation between Uruguayan and inter-american funders and DUT Partnership / JPI Urban Europe .
We met with Uruguayan Agency for International Cooperation (Claudia Romano and team), ANII (Ana Vasquez Herrera , Marcos Algorta Roig , Nancy Ghan , Flavio Caiafa ), Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) (Marcos Regis da Silva and Anna M. Stewart; but dearly missed Nicole Arbour) and Ministerio de Industria, Energía y Minería (Sebastián Lattanzio and colleagues).

We will continue the conversation, explore how urban transformation in Uruguay / Latin America connect to the three DUT Transition Pathways in detail and explore cooperation opportunities further.

Thanks for the support ENRICH in LAC , Berna Windischbaur , Anneken Reise !
