AGENDA

The agreement signed between CC35 and La Liga Municipal Dominicana has presented its first global impact success, placing the Dominican Republic as the first country with carbon neutrality commitments to 2050 aligned of all municipalities. These will be sent as part of the "Mayors for Climate" initiative to the High Level Champions of COP25 and COP26 to be authorized on the Race to Zero platform.

The regional Climate Weeks will provide a platform for representatives of national and subnational governments, cities, the private sector, financial institutions and civil society to jointly discuss opportunities to better recover from the COVID19 pandemic. On the other hand, they will serve for recovery policies to identify opportunities to incorporate ambitious measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase resilience to climate change.
