This publication is part of a collection of papers that analyze several of the technical and political issues in the UN climate change negotiations, including those related to climate finance and to the international adaptation framework; and how to support and encourage low-carbon and climate-resilient development. This work series was led by IDDRI and jointly prepared with experts from four Latin American & Caribbean think tanks (Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Costa Rica).
Extract :
"The LAC region is at a crossroads: while its emissions are still relatively low compared to global emissions, they are changing quickly. The region will face tremendous impacts from climate change, while adaptation and mitigation policies could present many opportunities for strengthening regional integration. This collection has been prepared by think tanks in countries that belong to many different negotiating groups within the UNFCCC, as well as economic alliances, and therefore can play a key role to advance new ideas and find “bridges” between different positions."
