Key messages from COP28 on the road to COP30

8 February 2024
9:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Costa Rica time, 10:00 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. Colombia/Peru, 12:00 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Chile/Argentina.
The webinar aims to present the key messages and the main decisions adopted at the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which took place in Dubai in December 2023, and to reflect on their implications on the road to the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30), integrating the perspectives of different stakeholders in the Latin American and Caribbean region.
 
COP 30, to be held in Brazil in 2025, represents a crucial milestone that will highlight the region's challenges and prospects towards the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C by the end of the decade. In that year, countries will have to present their updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) with a much more ambitious vision and a greater sense of urgency.  
 
The LEDS LAC Platform and its partners are working on a Regional Roadmap towards COP 30 that will (i) promote and renew high-level political and business commitment, (ii) coordinate and strengthen initiatives and actions of state and non-state actors, and (iii) systematize and disseminate key messages from the region, its progress, needs and opportunities to achieve ambitious goals, as well as successful cases and solutions to be replicated and scaled up in the region.
