Informe sobre la Iniciativa para la conducción de una evaluación climática nacional en apoyo a la adaptación y mitigación: Entrenamiento y desarrollo de capacidades en América Latina y el Caribe

The document outlines the establishment of a working group to implement the 'Initiative for Conducting a National Climate Assessment in Support of Adaptation and Mitigation: Training and Capacity Building in Latin America and the Caribbean'. Supported by the US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), AmeriGEO, and the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), the initiative aims to strengthen climate risk assessments for local and regional decision-making. Current progress includes the formation of a working group with members from eight countries and the administration of a knowledge-level questionnaire with a 71% response rate. The next phase involves defining the program's scope and creating a work plan and timeline.

• The initiative aims to improve local and regional decision-making by strengthening climate risk assessments, bringing together IPCC assessment authors, experts in assessment design, and end-users to help communities adapt to and mitigate climate change impacts.
• The program leverages existing national climate assessments, regional climate models, and forest monitoring efforts from Latin American and Caribbean countries to share lessons learned and expertise through training series.
• A working group has been established with participation from Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and one member of the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC).
• Initial development is focused on planning, scoping, and partnership creation, with a questionnaire distributed on February 2, 2022, to assess existing knowledge and work, which achieved a 71% response rate.
