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 emerging from the many pledges and initiatives is "the growing need for coordinated policy, planning and investment efforts to ensure that every penny 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 on the main outcomes of COP23 and the challenges and opportunities for Latin America and the Caribbean, both at the level of policy formulation and implementation of national policies and strategies, climate action at the local level and collaboration between countries.
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.
