- April 5: Research that contributes to climate action in Latin America
The implementation of initiatives to address climate change issues is often undermined by a lack of sound scientific information to support them. Between 2011 and 2015, the Climate and Development Knowledge Partnership (CDKN) funded 16 research projects on climate change and climate compatible development in Latin America, with the aim of providing inputs for decision making in priority countries and strengthening this field of research in the region. The projects involved 14 Latin American countries. The results of these projects are summarized in a compilation by the Regional Center for Climate Change and Decision Making.
This webinar will present the compilation of these 16 research studies developed in Latin America. The most important results will be shared and their relevance to strengthen the academic field of climate compatible development in the region will be discussed. More information here.
