About the webinar
Faced with the challenges of meeting Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), multilevel governance plays an important role in optimizing climate action and sustainable development. The articulation of climate instruments and tools between different levels of government is strategic to align top-down driven criteria, priorities and methodologies, while capturing local realities and needs.
This webinar addresses two cases of the Vertically Integrated Climate Policies and Climate Action II programs in Mexico and Costa Rica, promoted by the German Development Cooperation, GIZ. On the one hand, how in Mexico the state level, in this case Jalisco, brings national and state level climate policies to the municipal level through guidelines for the development of Municipal Climate Change Plans. On the other hand, how the national level in Costa Rica generates a tool to instruct cantons in the development of Greenhouse Gas Inventories (GHG) as a starting point towards meeting the ambitious goals set by the country.
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.
