How can the region reduce its emissions and promote development at the same time?

Join us for a conversation between Carlos Felipe Jaramillo, World Bank Vice President for Latin America and the Caribbean, and Mar¨ªa Heloisa Rojas Corradi, Minister of Environment of Chile, to discuss how countries can strengthen adaptation and resilience to climate change and find opportunities to lead the change and promote a green and inclusive growth.

September 14, 2022, 11:00 am ¨C 11:30 am ET

The event will be streamed in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French.

Climate change is already causing economic damage in the region and threatens to increase poverty and internal migration. Increases in the frequency and intensity of weather events are affecting infrastructure and leaving most vulnerable populations without shelter. The region has a unique opportunity to lead a climate resilient development by implementing concrete and inclusive adaptation measures, while investing in low-carbon solutions to attract new jobs and green growth. Addressing economic development and climate change together is a priority for the region to build a better future for its people and its resources.
