Road to COP30: The Issue-Based Coalition for Climate Change and Resilience StrategyA Collaborative Approach to Advancing Climate Resilience and Mitigation in Latin America and the Caribbean
Context:As the world prepares for COP30 in Belém, Brazil, the UN Issue-Based Coalition (IBC) on Climate Change and Resilience in LAC is mobilizing collective efforts to strengthen climate action. This initiative responds to the urgent need for integrated and inclusive approaches to adaptation, resilience, and sustainable development, especially in a region heavily impacted by climate risks.
What We Aim to Achieve:
- Develop and present a unified set of key messages to guide UN engagement at COP30
- Promote dialogue and knowledge exchange through a series of five thematic webinars
- Ensure regional and local priorities from Latin America and the Caribbean are reflected in global climate agendas
- Encourage multisectoral, inclusive contributions from UN agencies and partners
Organizers:Led by UNEP and UNDRR, the Issue-Based Coalition brings together 21 UN agencies working on climate change, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean.
About the Series:Road to COP30 is a five-part webinar series designed to co-create the IBC’s contribution to COP30. Each session will tackle key themes such as adaptation, finance, policy coherence, stakeholder inclusion, and UN coordination—feeding into a regional Key Messages Document to be shared with RCs and UNCTs by October 2025.
