Representantes de Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panamá y República Dominicana se reunieron desde el miércoles 20 de julio hasta hoy en San Salvador, El Salvador, para elaborar una propuesta centroamericana al Fondo Verde del Clima, GCF, por sus siglas en inglés, con el objetivo de reforzar la resiliencia al cambio climático en el Corredor Seco Centroamericano y zonas áridas de República Dominicana.
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.
Los países de Centroamérica y la República Dominicana trabajan en la identificación y definición de proyectos tecnológicos de adaptación y mitigación al cambio climático con la aspiración de canalizar apoyo técnico y financiero en cuatro áreas prioritarias para la región: eficiencia energética, movilidad eléctrica, eficiencia hídrica y resiliencia costera.
CTCN organized its Regional Forum for Nationally Designated Entities of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) on August 20, 2018, in Montevideo, Uruguay, as part of the LAC Climate Week (August 20-23, 2018). Thirty-six participants from 21 countries attended the Forum. CTCN invited NDEs from LAC countries and selected network members. It also supported NDEs to participate in the LAC Climate Week for the full week.
Less developed countries are generally more affected by the impacts of weather-related events than industrialised countries, according to the 2011 Climate Risk Index (CRI). The Global Climate Risk Index 2011 analyses the extent to which countries have been affected by storms, floods, heat waves and other weather induced occurrences using data collected during the 1990-2009 period. The index uses the number of deaths, sum of losses in US$ in purchasing power parity and of GDP.The index presents the following key findings for the period 1990 to 2009:
Accelerate the market transformation towards energy efficient products in Central America by supporting the development of Standards and Labelling programs at a regional level.
Proposal of a legal frame model for the renewable energy in Mexico
This Market Study is meant to be a first step in addressing identified barriers for air conditioners and industrial motors, by providing technical input to the decision-making process of Central American governments considering energy efficiency regulations for the products studied.
Report of the workshop on ''Technical standardization for efficient electrical equipment'' - which purpose was to facilitate the technical knowledge of standardization and labelling of electrical equipment in order to promote its production/import for energy saving.
