Latin American civil society organizations have written to UNFCCC Executive Secretary Simon Stiell expressing concern that the first 2025 Climate Week, scheduled for May 19-23 in Panama City, lacks a regional focus and restricts the participation of non-State stakeholders. While praising the event's focus on ambition and implementation, the signatories argue that the current set of mandated events is not open enough to civil society, research organizations, and the private sector. They emphasize the importance of regional momentum and the role of the Escazu Agreement in fostering environmental activism in the region.

• Civil society organizations argue that the official mandated events for the May 19-23 Climate Week in Panama City lack a regional focus and do not allow for the broad participation of non-State stakeholders.
• The signatories contend that the proposed approach to the Panama Climate Week is inconsistent with the goals of ambition and implementation because it is too restrictive regarding access for the private sector, research organizations, and civil society.
• The letter highlights the Escazu Agreement as a key driver of innovative processes for environmental activism, public participation, and access to information within Latin America and the Caribbean.
