15 November 2023 marked a milestone in relations between the European Union and the countries of Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (OECS, Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States) with the signing of the so-called Samoa Agreement (SA), successor to the Cotonou framework that governed for more than two decades, which was an agreement between the European Union and its former colonies.

The transport sector is responsible for 23% of global CO2 emissions. Electric vehicles (EVs) are an alternative for reducing these emissions in the atmosphere. Although the overall effect depends on the type of electricity generation in the energy matrix, EVs emit 37% less CO2 than conventional vehicles over their lifetime, according to industrial estimates.

El sector del transporte es responsable del 23% de las emisiones globales de CO2. Los vehículos eléctricos (VE) son una alternativa para reducirlo en la atmósfera. Aunque el efecto global depende de la matriz energética (y cómo se genere la electricidad), se estima que los VE emiten, a lo largo de su vida útil, 37% menos CO2 respecto de los convencionales. Si la electricidad proviene de energías renovables, la reducción es de entre 73% y 89%. Su producción despegó en 2008, cuando Tesla lanzó el modelo EV-1. Desde 2015, las ventas han incrementado continuamente.
