LACCW 2023 is one of four Regional Climate Weeks held this year to build momentum ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference COP28 in the United Arab Emirates in December and the conclusion of the first Global Stocktake, designed to chart the way for fulfilling the Paris Agreement's key goals. 

LACCW 2023 will provide a platform for policymakers, practitioners, businesses and civil society to exchange on climate solutions, barriers to overcome and opportunities realized in different regions.

The discussions during the event will be organized around four major systems-based tracks with region-focused contributions to inform the global stocktake:

• Energy systems and industry

• Cities, urban and rural settlements, infrastructure and transport

• Land, ocean, food and water

• Societies, health, livelihoods, and economies

LACCW 2023 is organized by the UNFCCC Secretariat in collaboration with global partners UNDP, UNEP, and the World Bank, as well as regional partners including the Inter-american Development Bank (IADB), the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean

The event will take place in parallel with the XXIII Meeting of the Forum of Ministers of the Environment in Latin America and the Caribbean from 24 to 26 October.

Organized events will be hybrid, with in person and online participation. Please find more information about events streaming here.
