Highlights We present results from an ethnographic study on Venezuelan migrants’ access to healthcare in seven Latin American cities. COVID-19 has worsened conditions of informality and health inequities for Venezuelan migrants. The main obstacles to healthcare access are legal, financial, and relating to discrimination and information asymmetry. Migrants rely on alternative care, such as telemedicine, extralegal doctors, and pharmacies.

Drawing from relevant experiences in power systems around the world, this paper offers a critical review of existing policy support mechanisms for RES-E (renewable energy sources for electricity), with a detailed analysis of their regulatory implications. While recent studies provide an account of current RES-E support systems, in this paper we focus on the impacts these mechanisms have on the overall energy market structure and its performance in the short and long term. Given the rising importance of RES-E in systems everywhere, these impacts can no longer be overlooked.
