About the webinar
Faced with the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015, countries have embarked on the road to the implementation of their nationally determined contributions (NDCs). The countries of Latin America have progressed differently according to their context and priorities. Nonetheless, there is a need to accelerate actions for the fulfillment of contributions.
At the beginning of 2017, Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), together with FFLA and Libélula, carried out the workshop «Road towards the implementation of the National Contributions» as a space for dialogue and exchange of experiences among six countries: Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico And Peru.
The webinar seeks to present and open the dialogue on the main lessons learned during the workshop and the approximation to the way that countries should follow in preparation for the implementation of NDCs.
The webinar will be held in Spanish. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the Secretariat of the LEDS LAC Platform: info@ledslac.org.
