Oil Price Risks and Climate Security:

On June 22, 2016 takes place in Berlin a conference on "Oil Price Risks and Climate Security: Challenges for the Energy Policy in Latin America" in the Academy of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.

Experts from Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Mexico and Venezuela were invited to discuss the winners and losers of low oil prices in Latin America.
