SUMMARY:UNCTAD-UNECLAC joint webinar on inclusive economic diversification 
 and energy transition: Latin America opportunities
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:In October 2023\, UNCTAD launched a new Commodities and Develop
 ment Report titled “Inclusive Diversification and Energy Transition.” 
 This report highlights that most developing countries depend heavily on ex
 porting commodities\, and they are often very vulnerable to various shocks
  such as fluctuations in exchange rates\, drop in commodity prices\, pande
 mics\, and conflicts. As a result\, these so-called commodity-dependent de
 veloping countries (CDDCs) have volatile incomes and slow growth in produc
 tivity. Their limited range of commodities exported also affects public re
 venue and the potential for investing in sustainable development.\n\nUNCTA
 D&#039\;s Commodities and development report 2023 critically examines vari
 ous issues including inclusive diversification\, energy transition and gre
 en industrial policies. Regarding the member countries covered by UNECLAC\
 , several topics such as economic diversification\, inequality\, green ind
 ustrial policies are of interest.\n\nThe main objective of this webinar is
  to inform participants about the key findings and messages of the UNCTAD&
 #039\;s Commodities and Development Report 2023. This webinar is also an o
 pportunity to receive feedback on the report and seek for guidance of the 
 issues that could be explored in the forthcoming reports.\n\nThis webinar 
 will be conducted in Spanish (without translation) online via the Zoom pla
 tform. Participation includes UNECLAC member staff\, diplomatic missions\,
  academia\, and international institutions based in Latin America and its 
 subregional offices. (registration is mandatory)\n&lt\;p&gt\;In October 20
