A joint initiative of:
ArticuLAC: Public-Private Articulation for Climate Action
The Community of Practice of Public-Private Articulation for Climate Action (ArticuLAC), is an initiative of the Euroclima Program through GIZ, LEDS LAC and the Latin American Center for Competitiveness and Sustainable Development (CLACDS) of INCAE Business School. It began operations in 2018 and aims to promote the articulation and alignment of public and private sector climate strategies and actions. ArticuLAC is made up of representatives of government institutions and private sector organizations from Euroclima Program countries.
What is ArticuLAC?
This Community of Practice (CoP) was launched in 2018 in response to the need to achieve greater integration of the private sector in the formulation and implementation of climate policies and strategies. Both in regional and expert workshops on different topics, the need for governments in the region to have capacities and tools to establish dialogues and collaborative relationships with the private sector has been detected, as well as the importance of strengthening the participation of the private sector not only in policy implementation, but also from the early stages of its design.
National teams from EUROCLIMA+ Program countries, comprised of representatives from the public sector, private sector and other stakeholders involved in initiatives related to private sector participation in climate policy processes in their respective countries, participate in the CoP. CoP activities include face-to-face events and online sessions designed to promote joint learning from the exchange of experiences and knowledge of new methodologies and tools.
During its first year of work, between July 2018 and June 2019, teams of three people from 9 countries participated: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay.. The second year started at the end of November 2019, with teams of 6-8 people from eight countries: Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay.. The third year began in May 2021 and members from 13 Latin American countries are currently participating: Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.
