Latin America and Caribbean Climate Week (LACCW 2021) is organized by a partnership of international and regional organizations and takes place at a critical moment, as governments prepare to submit their next round of national climate action plans under the Paris Agreement - Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) - for COP26 in November 2021.
The outcomes of LACCW 2021 Virtual Thematic Sessions will be shared with Ministers during a regional Ministerial Session in August. They follow on from Virtual Regional Roundtables that took place in March to scope regional priorities for all three Regional Climate Weeks this year – in Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia and Africa.
The event will be held online, with virtual participation possible from anywhere in the world. The majority of participants are expected come from the 33 countries in the Latin America and Caribbean region, with a focus on creating a collaborative space for solution-oriented discussion.
