The 4th LA Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES) was held 14 - 17 January 2024 in Vina del Mar, Chile and it brought together 93 on-site and 116 on-line scientists, researchers, and experts in the field of sustainable development from 27 countries and 5 continents. 93 papers were presented on-site orally in 16 regular sessions plus 3 plenary lectures and a panel given by some of the most distinguished experts in the field.
