UN Climate Change News, 29 June 2022 – In less than a
month, Latin America and the Caribbean Climate Week (LACCW
2022) will open in Santo Domingo, marking a return to
in-person climate weeks in the region.
Climate Week
sessions will discuss topics relevant to the region,
including urban planning, nature-based solutions,
agriculture and financing the future. Public and private
sector leaders can tailor a programme to their own net-zero
transformation, find common ground through collaboration and
forge partnerships for climate action.
With more
voices at the table and more collaborators to connect with,
LACCW 2022 will advance climate action in the LAC region and
contribute to global progress on climate change.
The
initial schedule https://unfccc.int/climate-action/regional-climate-weeks/latin-america-and-the-caribbean-climate-week-2022/programme-of-events-latin-america-and-the-caribbean-climate-week
for LACCW 2022 has been published with high-level sessions
for Ministers together with a wide range of side events,

organizations, youth and civil society are encouraged to register
