“…Latinoamérica posee una alta potencialidad para el desarrollo de energías renovables, especialmente por la dotación de recursos (Ospina-Mateus et al, 2023). La IEA plantea que la mayor parte de su consumo energético se genera con recursos renovables, con valores cercanos al 60%, elemento que no se comporta de igual manera a nivel mundial, con valores promedios de un 25%.…”

In the context of post-pandemic recovery plans, several countries have glimpsed a window of opportunity to integrate robust strategies to combat climate change, aligning measures that support the transition to renewable energies. Latin America, a region endowed with significant clean energy potential, has experienced challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis, which has considerably impacted the implementation and optimization of these energies. This study sought to meticulously examine the process and challenges of energy transition in the post-pandemic scenario in Latin America, implementing a methodology that amalgamates qualitative and quantitative approaches. Through a theoretical and empirical exploration, it explored the prevailing energy dilemmas during the pandemic, identifying the main barriers and advantages intrinsic to the energy transition. Although investment in the region remains heavily weighted towards the non-renewable energy sector, Latin America has demonstrated tangible progress in energy transition. The analysis led to relevant recommendations for incorporating vital elements in government climate policies and identifying critical competencies for stakeholders, advocating for a more substantial commitment to energy sustainability in the region's future.

Urban systems play a central role in the transition to the circular economy, and cities' role in consumption makes them essential for sustainable development. The transition to a circular city can help urban centers become consumers of waste and generators of the resources necessary for their maintenance through optimized and prolonged life cycles. In this sense, this article aims to identify the characteristics of a circular city and compare them to other sustainable urban typologies: sustainable city, green city, smart city, resilient city, eco-city, low-carbon city, and city with nature-based solutions. It follows a qualitative approach with a narrative review of the literature in articles from the Scopus database and reports from international organizations. This article demonstrates that a circular city adopts the 10R framework principles of a circular economy by implementing strategies to regenerate, share, optimize, cycle, and replace resources. It also highlights that the study of the methodologies and strategies for transition to a circular city interconnect with all sustainable urban typologies. Thus, the transition to a circular city contributes to urban sustainability in all dimensions.
