From August 19 to 23, Salvador is the focus of discussions on the implementation of the Paris Agreement and the fight against climate change with the Latin America and Caribbean Climate Week (LACCW). The Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEBDS), associated companies and partners have developed an intense program that demonstrates the sector's leading role in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
CEBDS together with World Business Council For Sustainable Development (WBCSD) will be one of the official supporters of the Energy Transition thematic block, coordinated by IRENA. The programming for this and other thematic blocks can be consulted here and will take place on Wednesday, August 21, 2019.
The program includes workshops, a bike ride, lectures on climate change, and representatives from 26 countries. [See the schedule below]
Climate Week precedes COP-25
The discussions aim to implement the Paris Agreement—a multinational pact to combat climate change. The week precedes the UN climate summit (COP-25), which will take place in Chile in December.
The UN Climate Conference discusses climate change and how nations can work to improve climate conditions, particularly by working to reduce greenhouse gases.
