About the webinar
The attention to climate change, as well as the fight against poverty, competitiveness and other key elements of the countries’ development strategies, present increasingly complex and multisectoral challenges for institutional coordination. These issues share similar characteristics, including: that they do not fit into a single ministerial portfolio, extend across borders and jurisdictions, and depend on the capacity of governmental and non-governmental actors (OECD, s.f).
Faced with these challenges, the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean are building new legal and institutional frameworks that allow achieving the levels of coordination and coherence between different public policy instances and other actors, required to achieve the integration of climate objectives into national, sectoral, and local strategies orienting thIn this webinar, we will share the experience of Mexico in the implementation of its legal a institutional climate change framework, as well as the proposed Climate Change Framework Law that is currently being discussed in Peru. The webinar will be held in Spanish. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the LEDS LAC Platform Secretariat: info@ledslac.org.
