Catalyzing Climate Action in Cities
Within the framework of COP26, CAF invites you to this online event that aims to highlight the different actions and opportunities that can be developed in cities to develop as integral low-carbon and climate change resilient territories.
The green agenda strategic vision is aligned with CAF's sustainable development mission promoted in the region and responds to the objective of promoting the development of green and climate change resilient economies in Latin American countries.
With this vision, CAF seeks to contribute with initiatives that promote a more equitable economic development, considering that the conservation, enhancement and sustainable use of biodiversity, together with responsible climate action, contribute directly to the sustainable growth of countries, through the effective, efficient and equitable use of their natural resources, improving in turn, the adaptive capacity for the resilience of the economies of CAF member countries.
