About the webinar

Addressing climate change, like combating poverty, competitiveness and other key elements of countries' development strategies, present increasingly complex and multi-sectoral challenges for institutional coordination. These issues share similar characteristics, including: they do not fit into a single ministerial portfolio, they span across borders and jurisdictions, and they depend on the capacity of governmental and non-governmental actors (OECD, n.d.).

Faced with these challenges, the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean are building new legal and institutional frameworks to achieve the levels of coordination and coherence between different public policy bodies and other stakeholders required to ensure that climate objectives are integrated into national, sectoral and local strategies, guiding them towards a climate-compatible development path.

In this webinar we will share Mexico's experience in the implementation of its legal and institutional framework for climate change, as well as the draft Framework Law on Climate Change currently being discussed in Peru. The webinar will be held at Spanish. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the LEDS LAC Platform Secretariat: [email protected].
