| Sumario: | The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) Subregional
Headquarters for the Caribbean, in collaboration with the Caribbean Community (CARICOM)
Secretariat through the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC), convened a
meeting of technical experts working in the field of economics and climate change. The main
objective of the meeting was to present the results of studies that were conducted under the
project, “Understanding the Potential Economic Impact of Climate Change in Latin America and
the Caribbean”. These presentations were expected to sensitize the experts to the costs of the
impacts of climate change in different development scenarios and also present the costs of
adaptative and mitigative strategies to 2100. It was expected that discussions of the presentation
would inform the preparation of a subregional climate change policy through an examination of
the existing Regional Climate Change Framework for Building Resilience. Discussions were also
intended to focus on updating participants on the upcoming negotiations for the new Kyoto
Protocol that would take place in Mexico in November 2010.
The meeting took the form of presentations by relevant experts followed by discussions.
Each discussion segment resulted in recommendations that would inform development of the
policy.
The meeting was held at the ECLAC Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean, Port
of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, on 30 June 2010. |
