From 30th of September to 2nd of October 2024, Fozdo Iguaçu, Brazil, hosted the LEDS LAC regional workshop. The purpose of the workshop is to coordinate and promote regional climate action and strategic foresight. This year’s relevance of climate transparency was also reflected in the event. The end of 2024 marks a milestone for the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), as Parties to the Paris Agreement must submit their First Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs). In this spirit, the Partnership on Transparency in the Paris Agreement (PATPA) has joined the LEDS LAC workshop 2024 as a supporting partner. 

More than 100 leaders from national and subnational governments, private and financial sector actors, academia, civil society, as well as cooperation agencies in Latin America and the Caribbean gathered for 3 days to exchange on ways to better collaborate and strengthen their capacities and knowledge on topics of the NDC update and its link with long-term strategies, as well as reporting and transparency processes.

At the parallel session “Tracking climate progress by non-state actors”, PATPA presented an overview of the general requirements of climate transparency, as well as some insights on how non-state actors can participate in strengthening the implementation of the ETF. In the open space “Accelerating transparency in LAC”, participants from Panama, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador and Belize shared about common challenges and collaborative solutions in fulfilling transparency obligations. 

The LEDS LAC regional workshops, held annually, are a meeting space for members and partners that facilitate networking, the creation of connections and the promotion of collaborations and synergies.
