The first global stocktake will conclude at COP28 in UAE in December of this year. The stocktake offers a unique opportunity to call for decisive change. It is an opportunity to urgently respond to the need to accelerate progress by collectively embarking on a swift and deep transformation of our economic and social systems.

LACCW 2023 will discuss climate solutions ahead of COP28. Together with all the Regional Climate Weeks provide a platform for policymakers, practitioners, businesses and civil society to exchange on climate solutions, barriers to overcome and opportunities realized in different regions.

The Weeks consider four major systems-based tracks with a view to providing region-focused contributions to inform the global stocktake:

• Energy systems and industry
• Cities, urban and rural settlements, infrastructure and transport
• Land, ocean, food and water
• Societies, health, livelihoods, and economies
