Euroclima+ in LAC Region
Euroclima+ is the European Union’s flagship regional cooperation programme, promoting environmentally sustainable and climate-resilient development in 18 Latin American countries, particularly for the benefit of the most vulnerable populations. Its objective is to reduce the impact of climate change and its effects in Latin America by promoting mitigation and adaptation to climate change, resilience, and investment.
In addition to focusing on urban mobility, Euroclima+ works in several different sectors, including climate governance, renewable energy and energy efficiency, and disaster risk management and reduction.
SLOCAT provides advocacy messaging and technical support to countries and other stakeholders in the Latin America and the Caribbean region, towards building a pathway towards sustainable, low carbon transport by supporting the transformation of urban mobility.
Organise targeted outreach and capacity-building to regional policymakers.
Facilitate dialogues to increase attention to urban mobility in national climate discussions.
Provide support to increase urban mobility ambition in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of the Paris Agreement.
Highlight regional mobility work in global climate and transport activities.
Conduct regional-level analysis of sustainable transport issues.
