“In Latin America and the Caribbean we have an economic vulnerability that leads us to commit between 1 and 5% of the annual Gross Domestic Product in the event we do not act to confront climate change, and we also have evidence that investing in adaptation is always cheaper than mitigating the impacts associated with climate change”, Joseluis Samaniego, Director of the Sustainable Development and Human Settlements Division of ECLAC

"The signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015 marked a turning point in the multilateral commitment to join efforts to preserve the planet. The European Union and its partners want to lead this process and implement effective actions to meet these ambitious objectives." EUROCLIMA+ is an example of this support we are giving”.
