Este seminario es organizado por la División de Estadística y la Oficina Subregional para el Caribe de la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL), en colaboración con PARIS21, en apoyo de la Cuenta para el Desarrollo de las Naciones Unidas y el Acuerdo de Escazú.

This event will bring stakeholders from Statistical Offices and Ministries of Environment of Caribbean countries to discuss the assessment and strategic capacity development of their climate change data ecosystems (CCDEs).

The subregional event will adopt a hybrid format with face-to-face sessions for country representatives and virtual participation of regional and global experts on climate change data.

The objectives of the meeting:

  • Understand better the critical climate change data capacity development areas that enable a coherent and sustained functioning of a climate change data ecosystem in low-resource and low-capacity contexts
