With technical support from the FAO, representatives from the 19 member countries of the Platform of Latin America and the Caribbean for Climate Action on Agriculture (PLACA) identified regional priorities related to the agricultural sector and discussed funding opportunities from the Green Climate Fund.

La FAO, PLACA y el CIAT convocaron a negociadores y expertos para fortalecer las capacidades de negociación en agricultura y seguridad alimentaria, en un momento decisivo para el futuro del sector agroalimentario en la agenda climática global.

During the event “Bioeconomy and Climate Change in the International Year of the Woman Farmer,” the Platform reaffirmed its role as a regional mechanism for strengthening institutional capacities and improving the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions in Latin America and the Caribbean.

On February 10–11, the Regional Dialogue on Water Tenure in Latin America and the Caribbean was held in Panama City. The event was designed to strengthen water governance and develop recommendations that reflect the region’s territorial and sectoral diversity.

The FAO brought to COP30 an agenda marked by the water-food nexus, climate action in agriculture, and the promotion of aquatic food systems. The organization highlighted the urgency of strengthening adaptation in Latin America and the Caribbean.

This tool was developed by professionals from the Ministries of Agriculture participating in PLACA, with the aim of providing clarity and consistency in the use of specific terminology among countries in the region.
