About the webinar

The Community of Practice on Climate Policy Monitoring and Evaluation (CoP M&E) facilitated by the EUROCLIMA+ Program, through the FIIAPP Foundation, and the LEDSLAC Platform was born in 2018 to address the need identified in Latin American countries for robust, well-built and practical systems for the monitoring and evaluation of climate policies and their action plans. These systems are key pieces, both to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of adaptation and mitigation processes, incorporating new information and lessons learned, as well as to verify and report in a transparent manner the fulfillment of the commitments made before the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Paris Agreement and other multilateral agreements.

With this in mind, and with the participation of representatives from 17 Latin American countries, for two years, the M&E CoP has organized virtual exchange sessions and face-to-face meetings to exchange experiences and strengthen capacities on priority issues such as governance of M&E systems, the Paris Agreement's Enhanced Transparency Framework, adaptation metrics, among others. In this process, valuable learnings have been collected and will be shared during this webinar.

The webinar will be held at Spanish.  If you have any doubts or questions, please write to the LEDS LAC Platform at info@ledslac.org.
