Latin America and the Caribbean at COP28

Latin American and Caribbean Pavilion at COP28 "We are a solution"

Latin America and the Caribbean is a diverse region that has faced the most challenging effects of climate change in recent years. Achieving green, fair, and inclusive economic development requires joint work on climate action and the protection of biodiversity to position our countries as drivers of solutions to global problems.

For all these reasons, CAF promotes a unique space with the Pavilion for Latin America and the Caribbean, with which it seeks to facilitate the exchange of experiences, join forces, explore opportunities for collaboration, and increase the visibility of the solutions offered by the countries as a whole.
