Considered a breakthrough and led by the Argentine presidency
Puerto Iguazú, August 30th 2018.
Leaders of G20 of the Climate Sustainability Group (CSWG) met in Puerto Iguazú the week of August 27 to discuss : adaptation to climate change, generation of long-term strategies to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and the mobilization of financial flows to combat global warming.
Alejandra Cámara, director of GENESIS, was part of the presidency delegation (remember that Argentina is president of the G20 during 2018) headed by Minister Bergman. Alejandra was summoned as an adviser in climate finance.
The documents approved by consensus were:
- Adaptation action plan to address the impacts of global climate change, and
- Compendium of best practices to make the economies of the 20 most powerful countries in the world cleaner: around 70 country practices were collected.
Carlos Gentile, Chair of the CSWG and Secretary of Climate Change and Sustainable Development of Argentina said: “The balance is very positive. These are two documents that will remain as input for the next G20 meeting, to be held in Japan, which will continue with this working group. ”
The two documents follow the guidelines of the work that began last year in Hamburg, in Germany.
