We are at a key moment for countries to take action to increase the ambition of their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Under the Paris Agreement, countries will have until 2020 to reassess their climate plans and commit to a level of ambition that will prevent global warming above 1.5°C.

One of the challenges facing the Latin American and Caribbean region is to establish clear mechanisms for citizen participation in the development and implementation of climate policies and programs. This webinar will focus on the importance of multi-sectoral and multi-level citizen participation to establish low-emission, climate-resilient economic development processes that are sustainable in the long term. The objective of the webinar is to share participatory processes that are working in Latin America, as well as to open a space for an exchange of ideas between countries on the challenges and opportunities we have in the region to integrate different stakeholders in the review and implementation of the NDCs.
