The Ministerio de Energía y Minas de Guatemala has recently shared updates on public safety, international environmental commitments, and social observances through its official Twitter account.
On November 17, 2025, the ministry posted a safety reminder regarding electrical hazards: "Tu seguridad está en tus manos… y en tu hilo. Nunca intentes recuperar un barrilete enredado en cables eléctricos. #CuidaTuVida #CuidatedelosCables". This message emphasizes the dangers of attempting to retrieve kites tangled in power lines and aims to raise awareness about electrical safety among the public.
In another update dated November 18, 2025, the ministry addressed Guatemala's progress toward joining an international environmental alliance: "Guatemala se encuentra en proceso de adhesión a la PPCA, que es la Alianza para Superar el Carbón. El ministro de Energía y Minas Víctor Hugo Ventura se reunió con representantes de esta iniciativa durante su participación en la #COP30, Belém, Brasil. @PastCoal". The Powering Past Coal Alliance (PPCA) is a coalition of governments and organizations committed to phasing out unabated coal power. The meeting took place during COP30 in Belém, Brazil, where global leaders discussed climate action strategies.
On November 19, 2025, the ministry marked International Men's Day with a message about its commitment to societal well-being: "Este 19 de noviembre conmemoramos el Día Internacional del Hombre. En el MEM trabajamos por el bienestar de todos los guatemaltecos y guatemaltecas." International Men's Day is observed worldwide to recognize men's contributions and promote gender equality.
The Ministerio de Energía y Minas plays a key role in shaping Guatemala’s energy policy and ensuring both public safety and sustainable development. Its recent engagement at COP30 reflects ongoing efforts by Latin American countries to align with global climate initiatives such as the PPCA and transition away from coal-based energy sources.
