What is PLACA?
The Platform of Latin America and the Caribbean for Climate Action on Agriculture (PLACA) is the only platform in the region that focuses on:
1. Foster a collaborative network of shared knowledge.
2. Build capacity to support ministries of agriculture in leveraging climate action towards the implementation of their commitments under the Paris Agreement.
One of its fundamental pillars is the Thematic Working Groups, regional communities of practice to foster the co-creation of knowledge and strengthen the technical capabilities of the region's ministries of agriculture . Through these groups, PLACA facilitates the exchange of experiences, promotes best practices and fosters the development of solutions tailored to the needs of each country.
