How to make green growth inclusive in Latin America and the Caribbean

The Latin America and Caribbean Region (LAC) has served as a laboratory for inclusive green growth, having implemented clean, efficient, resilient and socially inclusive innovations, such as a low emission energy matrix, the first regional catastrophic risk insurance facility, Payments for Environmental Services and the world’s most extensive use of Bus Rapid Transit. However, converting these sparks of innovation into mainstream policies and widespread practices is a key challenge that lies ahead for the LAC region.

The aim of this webinar is to stimulate an in-depth discussion on how to leverage collective action towards inclusive green growth. With a panel of leading experts, the webinar provides discussion and debate on the key opportunities and challenges, and regional examples of where the pro-poor and inclusive approach is being implemented, lessons learnt, and critical knowledge gaps where further collective action is required.

The webinar will be held on 25 May from 9:00-10:30am (Costa Rica time) and will take place in Spanish.
