Launch Event: LEDSenLAC 2022 Report

The LEDS LAC platform, in its line of work on knowledge management, has been presenting since 2015 the LEDSenLAC report, which systematizes and contains information on the progress and challenges of some of the countries in the region regarding the design and formulation of different actions that allow them to move towards a climate compatible path.

The fourth edition of the LEDSenLAC report is supported by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the EUROCLIMA program, through the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). The report is a useful document to support professionals, technicians and decision makers who promote climate action in Latin America and the Caribbean. It incorporates the progress of twenty-seven countries The objective is to analyze the quality of progress and the integration of climate goals with broader national and sectoral planning frameworks in the region regarding the implementation of the first generation of NDCs and the content and characteristics of the second generation of NDCs (presentation of new or updated NDCs).

To integrate all the objectives of the LEDSenLAC 2022 report, a conceptual framework was established based on the methodological work of the previous report and redefined the grouping of components inspired by the NDC assessment approach of the UNDP Climate Promise initiative and the Climate Action Enhancement Package (CAEP) framework of the NDC Partnership Platform. Similarly, the conceptual framework incorporates aspects of different dimensions of articulation that are considered important for implementing the NDCs, taking up and redefining key aspects of the EUROCLIMA Thematic Study 13 approach. 

After a brief presentation of the content and main findings of the report, a panel of representatives from government and support agencies/programs (IDB, UNDP and EUROCLIMA) will give their perspective on the findings and discuss those factors that facilitated and strengthened the implementation of the NDCs.
