The LEDS LAC Regional Workshops, held annually, provide a meeting space for members and partners that facilitate networking, the creation of connections, and the promotion of collaborations and synergies. These events allow for reflection and the exchange of experiences and learnings among peers, deepen technical dialogue, and identify needs, priorities, and emerging topics on the path toward resilient and low-emission development. This year, we celebrate the tenth annual in person regional meeting organized by the LEDS LAC platform in its 12 years of operation.
In compliance with the Paris Agreement, countries have focused their efforts on preparing and implementing their NDCs and designing long-term climate strategies. The year 2024 is crucial for the updating of NDCs, which must be submitted by March 2025, showing more ambitious commitments. These processes have highlighted challenges such as improving monitoring and reporting systems, innovative financing mechanisms, and the need to strengthen capacities and involve new stakeholders, increasing ambition in climate mitigation and adaptation.

Facilitate a regional meeting place to promote climate action and raise ambition in LAC through the relevant actors and sectors that drive implementation and mainstreaming in development policies and the mobilization of finance and investment.
To strengthen capacities through the exchange of experiences and learning (among Communities of Practice and Working Groups, partners and collaborators), and through training and deepening in the use of tools and resources, especially in the areas of financing, decision-making information, and stakeholder coordination.
To promote and find opportunities for collaboration among participants (public sector, private sector, academia, civil society, international cooperation organizations, among others) to strengthen enabling frameworks in countries, mobilize financing for climate action, and to organize new regional activities that support the implementation of NDCs, LTS, and the Roadmap to COP30.
To identify and prioritize needs or emerging topics for LEDS LAC members, focusing on implementing their climate commitments and plans, mobilizing financing, or building capacities to increase the ambition of NDCs and LTS.
In line with the outcomes of the LEDS LAC 2023 Regional Workshop and the prioritized areas and approaches for the region on the Roadmap to COP30, this 2024 edition of the Regional Workshop will focus on the following priority themes: Updating NDCs, increasing ambition, and linking with long-term strategies in light of the UAE Consensus and Global Stocktake (GST).
With a focus on the outcomes and implications of the Global Stocktake (GST) to inform the process of revising and updating new NDCs and LTS towards COP30. This session will also cover the integration of the climate and nature agenda as an opportunity for convergence between NDCs and LTS with biodiversity plans, water-food nexuses, and nature-based solutions.
This day will focus on financing strategies for NDCs and LTS to mobilize resources for climate action, with a special emphasis on adaptation. The session aims to strengthen the capacities of state and non-state actors, with the goal of doubling adaptation financing by 2025 and increasing funding for nature-based initiatives.
This day will focus on engaging Ministries of Economy and Finance and enhancing public-private collaboration in climate policies. The session will aim to align measurement and reporting frameworks among state and non-state actors to effectively implement climate commitments and actions.
The LEDS LAC Regional Workshop 2023, organized by the LEDS LAC Secretariat, the DCCD/MINAM, and the Inter-American Development Bank, took place in Lima, Peru, as part of Peru's Climate Week. It was supported by UNDP, Euroclima, NDC Partnership, Reciclo Orgánicos, Avina, and Resilience Hub. As with previous events, the 2023 workshop aimed to contribute to the transition towards resilient and low-emission development in LAC countries, recognizing the importance of developing and implementing commitments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement, including Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), Long-Term Climate Strategies (LTS), and National Adaptation Plans.
LEDS LAC is a network of organizations and individuals working on the promotion, design and implementation of LEDS in Latin America and the Caribbean.
