An effective response to the challenges of climate change requires collaborative action at different levels of government. Municipalities play a central role in both climate change mitigation and adaptation.

This webinar will present and discuss tools developed by the NGO Adapt-Chile with the support of EUROCLIMA Technical Assistance to support municipal authorities in the participatory development of local climate change plans. The tools have been validated in workshops with local governments in Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Uruguay. The first tool has been published and is available online: http://www.euroclima.org/es/servicios-de-informacion/libros-euroclima
