About the webinar
According to a press release issued by the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), at the end of the 23rd Conference of the Parties (COP23), a powerful message that emerges from the numerous promises and initiatives is “the growing need to coordinate policy, planning and investment efforts to ensure that every cent invested, and every minute of work contributed, has a much greater impact and increases ambition in terms of national climate plans.”
In this webinar we will have a high-level dialogue about the main results of COP23 and the challenges and opportunities for Latin America and the Caribbean, both at the level of formulation and implementation of national policies and strategies, local climate action and collaboration between countries.
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.
