Andean countries

Argentina has put its first solar train into service, running on batteries charged by solar power in the Andean region. The initiative is being shared as an example of renewable energy applied to public transport, with coverage from Euronews drawing attention to the use of Andean sunlight as the train's power source and the project's significance for sustainable transit in the country.

The Pan American Health Organization, together with the Andean Health Organization (ORAS-CONHU) and Andean countries, has launched a joint plan to protect public health from the impacts of climate change. The initiative aims to coordinate regional responses to climate-related health risks across the Andean subregion.
