Latin America and the Caribbean at COP28
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 this reason, CAF, in its role as Green Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean, offers during the COP a platform open to all actors where they can hear the great challenges associated with climate change and, above all, the solutions offered at a regional scale. For the first time, the COP will have a CAF Pavilion that will be the Pavilion of Latin America and the Caribbean, a region of solutions to global challenges.
