COP25: results of the IDB Group Pavilion of the Americas

por - Leave a Comment


From December 2 to 13, the UN Conference on Climate Change, under the presidency of Chile, was held in Madrid with the logistical support of the Spanish government. The Venue welcomed more than 27,000 delegates with a common objective: to take concrete actions to face the current climate crisis.
During this international meeting, the IDB Group’s Pavilion of the Americas  highlighted the climate agenda of the IDB Group on issues such as sustainable infrastructure, decarbonization, adaptation and resilience, and sustainable finance. Thus, we organize more than 55 events in the Pavilion with Latin American and Caribbean countries and other key partners where we share the leadership of the region to face the climate crisis, achieving a just transition.
One of the key messages we presented emphasized how the transition to net zero emissions offers important economic and development opportunities for Latin America and the Caribbean, as highlighted in our most recent publication “Getting to net zero emissions: Lessons from Latin America and the Caribbean”.
In addition, the participants could learn about the results of the Rural Sustentável project in Brazil on low carbon agriculture technologies, based on the testimonies of the beneficiaries through an immersive virtual reality experience.

We present an infographic with the key results achieved in the Pavilion of the Americas of the IDB Group during COP25.
