Reconciling Development with the Need to "Decarbonize" the Economy.
hace 11 year
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is currently at a tipping point: while its emissions are not so high relative to global emissions, this is changing rapidly and projections are not very encouraging. The LAC region could face major impacts from climate change and at the same time, adaptation and mitigation policies can bring opportunities to strengthen regional integration.
This publication is a perspective born from the think tanks of Latin America and the Caribbean, with the participation of countries from different negotiating groups. It seeks to be an important piece towards the creation of new ideas and a bridge between different positions. It belongs to a group of documents that analyze the technical and political issues during the UN Climate Change negotiations, among them those related to Climate Finance in the international framework of Adaptation. It also shows how to support and encourage carbon emission reductions and climate resilient development.
This work module was led by IDDRI, with the support of the Libélula team: María Paz Cigaran (General Manager of Libélula), María Elena Gutiérrez (Research Manager), David García and Carolina Chambi (Analysts). Also participating were René Castro and Mario Chacon León (CATIE, Costa Rica), Hernán Carlino (Torcuato Di Tella Foundation, Argentina) and Renato Flores and Marina Drummond (Getulio Vargas Foundation, Brazil), as well as IDDRI (Alexandre Magnan, Teresa Ribera, Sebastien Treyer and Thomas Spencer).
