The Government of Denmark, in partnership with the Inter-American Development Bank and hosted by the Government of Colombia convene the first LAC regional 3GF which is focused this year on renewable energy and climate change. The 3GFLAC provides a platform for dialogue among high-level stakeholders who may contribute to the imminent transformation of LAC&amp;rsquo;s energy future by harnessing its substantial endowment of renewable energy sources.&lt;/p&gt;

This economic success has also brought a commensurate rise in energy demand. There is a large need for increased output across the entire Peruvian energy matrix, but particularly in terms of natural gas production and distribution and electric generation capacity. The objective of this one-day executive roundtable will be to enhance high-level dialogue between the government, private sector and civil society with regards to the nation&amp;rsquo;s energy outlook and opportunities and challenges for sustaining Peru&amp;rsquo;s economic boom. Discussion of electric generation requirements, natural gas, energy infrastructure and upstream opportunities will be key areas for discussion. Additionally, panels will debate the intersection of mining and energy, where LNG fits in Peru&amp;rsquo;s natural gas outlook and the topic of energy access.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p style="margin: 5px 0px; padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 20px;"&gt;La econom&amp;iacute;a de Per&amp;uacute; ha experimentado un auge en los &amp;uacute;ltimos a&amp;ntilde;os con un crecimiento promedio anual del PIB del 6%. Esta expansi&amp;oacute;n de la econom&amp;iacute;a tambi&amp;eacute;n ha generado un incremento proporcional en la demanda de energ&amp;iacute;a. Existe una gran necesidad de aumento en la producci&amp;oacute;n a lo largo de toda la matriz energ&amp;eacute;tica peruana, pero en particular en t&amp;eacute;rminos de producci&amp;oacute;n y distribuci&amp;oacute;n de gas natural y de capacidad de generaci&amp;oacute;n el&amp;eacute;ctrica. La finalidad de esta mesa redonda ejecutiva de un d&amp;iacute;a es incentivar un di&amp;aacute;logo de alto nivel entre el gobierno, el sector privado y la sociedad civil en cuanto a las perspectivas energ&amp;eacute;ticas del pa&amp;iacute;s, as&amp;iacute; como las oportunidades y desaf&amp;iacute;os para hacer sostenible este auge econ&amp;oacute;mico de Per&amp;uacute;. Los principales temas a discutir incluyen los requisitos para la generaci&amp;oacute;n de electricidad, gas natural, infraestructura energ&amp;eacute;tica y las oportunidades para upstream. Adem&amp;aacute;s, los paneles debatir&amp;aacute;n sobre la intersecci&amp;oacute;n entre miner&amp;iacute;a y energ&amp;iacute;a, d&amp;oacute;nde encaja el GNL en las perspectivas del gas natural de la naci&amp;oacute;n y el tema del acceso a la energ&amp;iacute;a.&lt;/p&gt;
