About the webinar
For the LEDS LAC Platform, an effective climate policy is one that promotes the transformation of a country's development patterns based on its specific climate change mitigation and/or adaptation objectives, which requires new forms of governance. The IPCC defines climate governance as "certain mechanisms and measures that aim to steer social systems towards preventing, mitigating or adapting to the risks posed by climate change" (IPCC, 2014 citing Jagers and Stripple, 2003).
Taking into account the importance of inter-institutional coordination mechanisms to move away from the traditional sectoral planning scheme towards a more integrative one, in the process of preparing the report LEDSenLAC 2016, the LEDS LAC Secretariat, with the support of the World Bank, prepared a working paper which characterizes existing inter-institutional coordination mechanisms in 16 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. In a complementary manner, the LEDS GP Working Group on National-Subnational Integration, in collaboration with Adapt Chile, developed a study on multilevel governance dynamics in the region.
This webinar will present the findings of both studies and report on the progress of the support being given to the development of multilevel governance mechanisms in Ecuador, in collaboration with the Consortium of Provincial Governments and other partners. The webinar will be held at Spanish. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the LEDS LAC Platform Secretariat: info@ledslac.org.
