Latin America Climate Summit 2024

CCAP will be participting in the Latin America Climate Summit from June 25-27. Our policy staff will be presenting its recent work in carbon markets in a Plenary  sessuion titled, "Indigenous People and Local Communities: Safeguards, Benefit Sharing, and Just Transition." This session will take place on Wednesday, June 26 at 5:30 p.m. (Local Time). 

More information on this session: Communities and Indigenous peoples are the great guardians of nature; despite this, less than 1% of climate finance reaches them directly. Carbon markets represent an essential flow of resources to ensure social development in the global south. This panel will bring experts and key stakeholders to discuss the meaning of just transition for different communities and the challenges of developing comprehensive safeguards across various contexts. Join us to delve into the essence of inclusive development and discover strategies for benefit sharing that allow market mechanisms to ensure fairness and promote efficient environmental stewardship.
