The Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) organized sub-regional forum for the climate focal points and network members from Latin America in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The event was attended by the representatives of the UNFCCC, the Green Climate Fund, the Global Environment Facility, network members from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. During two days, participants discussed technology transfer, collaboration and opportunities in the region.
Argentina requested support in accessing up-to-date technology and update on tools for coastal morphology study and climate change monitoring.
The analysis of natural coastal processes (meteorology, climatology, hydrodynamics and morphology) in relation to changes in human activities and land use/coverage, is a necessary input for the study of risk of coastal erosion.
CTCN, UNEP DTU Partnership and CATIE have launched a new publication ‘Good practice in Designing and Implementing National Monitoring Systems for Adaptation to Climate Change’ in Spanish: Buenas prácticas para el diseño e implementación de sistemas nacionales de monitoreo para la adaptación al cambio climático.
El Ministro de las Secretaria de Energía, Recursos Naturales, Ambiente y Minas (MiAmbiente), José Antonio Galdames, en conferencia de prensa se mostró muy agradecido con la participación y asistencia de los Países y Agencias Latinoamericanas al primer taller Regional sobre el Fondo Verde del Clima (FVC), ya que Honduras sirve como ejemplo de experiencia en materia de medidas de adaptación y mitigación al Cambio Climático.
