In Latin America, climate change has become a driver of human displacement and inequality, especially affecting women and putting regional commitment to the test.

Latin American leaders adopted a critical and diverse stance toward global challenges, ranging from the war in Gaza to the climate crisis and international governance.

Climate change exposes Latin America’s tragedy of the commons. Inequality, weak institutions, and global cooperation define the region’s future.

The rise of climate denialism and financial interests is undermining global commitments to climate change mitigation and sustainable development.

Putting the conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of mangroves and other blue carbon ecosystems front and center of countries’ NDCs is critical to meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement.

More than ecosystems, mangroves are a vital natural shield for millions in the Caribbean: they protect communities, sustain economies and are the key to climate resilience. Their protection is a crucial test of political will and regional cooperation.
