The Center for Carbon and Energy
Management Studies (CEGCE)
It is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting research, dissemination and the development of innovative solutions to address the challenges of climate change and fair energy transition in Colombia and internationally.
We work to generate solid scientific and technological knowledge on carbon and energy management, and to promote the implementation of sustainable public policies and practices that contribute to the mitigation of climate change and the development of a low-carbon energy future.
We promote energy justice as a guiding principle in the management of natural resources and the transition towards a carbon-neutral energy matrix, advocating for the equitable distribution of the benefits and costs associated with the transition, taking into account the contextual realities of each country and region.
